| program (and optionally some additional compile arguments). | |
| Because <tt>ajc</tt> requires all sources to be specified | |
| (at least using the <tt>-sourceroots</tt> option), | |
| most users create <tt>.lst</tt> files that list | |
| the files to compile (one argument per line, globbing | |
| permitted - for more details, see <a href="ajc-ref.html">The ajc Command-line Reference</a>). | |
| </p><p> | |
| To work with a particular program, select the | |
| corresponding ".lst" build configuration file | |
| from the GUI using the File menu, "open" item, | |
| or by using the | |
| "Open Build Configuration" button | |
| (<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="openConfig.gif"></span>). | |
| You can populate the build list from the command line | |
| by passing any number of ".lst" paths. | |
| (However, if you pass in any non-".lst" arguments, | |
| it will run the command-line compiler directly.) | |
| </p><p> | |
| To switch between build configurations, | |
| select, add, or remove them | |
| using the corresponding toolbar buttons. | |
| </p><p>Global build options are stored in an | |
| <tt>.ajbrowser</tt> file in your HOME directory. | |
| Edit these from the GUI by clicking the "Options" button | |
| or selecting the Tools menu item "Options...". | |
| This is how to set classpath, aspectpath, etc. | |
| </p><p>The following sections walk through a build. | |

| To compile click the "Build" button | |
| (<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="build.gif"></span>), or | |
| or use the tools menu. | |
| </p><p>To build using AspectJ 1.1's incremental mode, | |
| click the <tt>incremental compile</tt> checkbox in | |
| the <tt>AspectJ Build Options</tt> tab | |
| of the <tt>Options</tt> dialog. | |
| Once in incremental mode, you can force a full rebuild | |
| by holding the shift key down when selecting the | |
| build menu item or button. | |
| </p><p> | |
| You may select | |
| from different build configurations in the GUI | |
| (see label 1 in the graphic below). | |
| (If you get classpath or other errors, set up the | |
| global build options as described above.) | |
