Use the options available in the \f2javac(1)\fP tool and the APIs contained in the packages \f2javax.annotation.processing\fP and \f2javax.lang.model\fP to process annotations. 54 .LP 55 .LP 56 The tool \f2apt\fP, annotation processing tool, includes reflective APIs and supporting infrastructure to process program annotations. The \f2apt\fP reflective APIs provide a build\-time, source\-based, read\-only view of program structure. These reflective APIs are designed to cleanly model the Java(TM) programming language's type system after the addition of generics. First, \f2apt\fP runs annotation processors that can produce new source code and other files. Next, \f2apt\fP can cause compilation of both original and generated source files, easing development. The reflective APIs and other APIs used to interact with the tool are subpackages of \f2com.sun.mirror\fP. 57 .LP 58 .LP 59 A fuller discussion of how the tool operates as well as instructions for developing with \f2apt\fP are in 60 .na 61 \f4Getting Started with \fP\f4apt\fP. @ 62 .fi 63 http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/apt/GettingStarted.html 64 .LP 65 .SH "OPTIONS" 66 .LP 67 .SS 68 apt specific options 69 .LP 70 .RS 3 71 .TP 3 72 \-s dir 73 Specify the directory root under which processor\-generated source files will be placed; files are placed in subdirectories based on package namespace. 74 .TP 3 75 \-nocompile 76 Do not compile source files to class files. 77 .TP 3 78 \-print 79 Print out textual representation of specified types; perform no annotation processing or compilation. 80 .TP 3 81 \-A[key[=val]] 82 Options to pass to annotation processors \-\- these are not interpreted by \f2apt\fP directly, but are made available for use by individual processors 83 .TP 3 84 \-factorypath path 85 Specify where to find annotation processor factories; if this option is used, the classpath is \f2not\fP searched for factories. 86 .TP 3 87 \-factory classname 88 Name of annotation processor factory to use; bypasses default discovery process 89 .TP 3 90 \-version 91 Print version information. 92 .TP 3 93 \-X 94 Display information about non\-standard options. 95 .RE 96 97 .LP 98 .SS 99 Options shared with javac 100 .LP 101 .RS 3 102 .TP 3 103 \-d dir 104 Specify where to place processor and javac generated class files 105 .TP 3 106 \-cp path or \-classpath path 107 Specify where to find user class files and annotation processor factories.
