source code of 'javac'?

[Pooja Deshpande]

Hi All,

Can I get the source code of 'javac'? in my application, I have to identify the list of deprecated api's used and suggest alternative for the same. So if I get the source code, I would know how 'javac -deprecation' option works. Also, please give any information if you know how IDE's like NetBeans identify these api's?

thanks in advance!
Regards,
Pooja

What do you mean? you will attempt to browse the C&C++ source code? It takes time if you will.... maybe a week i guess.... and maybe you cannot just understand it easily specially how to trace the specific function you are looking for.... unless you're a C++ Guru....

NetBeans refers to the src file that can be found inside the jdk folder.... all java built-in classes are there, with documentation comment.....

You can browse all the deprecated APIs there.... They are on documentation comments....

Yep, go to the download page of Suns' official web site. You can make a right choice and download it.

Regarding NetBeans and API. Thats why we set the class path. Class path starts all those things. When you go through the javac source code, you can identify what I say.
