- !GFront by Andy Smith
- ---------------------
-
- Version 0.20 (31 May 1998).
-
-
- !GFront is a front end for !Gauvac, the GNU Java source file compiler,
- ported by Peter Naulls.
-
-
- This is a simple front end to allow Java sources to be compiled without
- having to use the command line or obey files.
-
-
- To use, run the application, this will place an icon on the icon bar. A Java
- source can be dragged to this icon, a window will open showing the current
- settings. Sources can also be dragged to this window.
-
-
- The class destination directory can be set by dragging a directory to the
- window or typing in a path for the directory, to reset the destination to
- the default, the Default button can be used.
-
-
- Two options are available.
-
- Throwback will use !Zap or !StrongEd to produce a list of errors and on
- which line they occurred.
-
- Add Extension will add the /class extension onto the class file.
-
-
- To compile the source click on the compile button, this will call the guavac
- compiler with the required settings.
-
- If the front end detects that you have tried to drag or type in an invalid
- Java source it pop up an error window.
-
- If you have enough memory more than one compilation can be run at a time,
- if you run out of memory several errors may occur.
-
-
- This is my first WIMP program, I found it very interesting understanding
- working out how to code some of the features, my thanks to Peter Naulls
- who helped with the style of the program and some of the logic.
