1.1 The 'appletviewer' Tool
===========================
SYNOPSIS
appletviewer [OPTION]... URL...
appletviewer [OPTION]... '-code' CODE
appletviewer [OPTION]... '-plugin' INPUT,OUTPUT
DESCRIPTION The 'appletviewer' tool loads and runs an applet.
Use the first form to test applets specified by tag. The URL should
resolve to an HTML document from which the 'appletviewer' will extract
applet tags. The APPLET, EMBED and OBJECT tags are supported. If a
given document contains multiple applet tags, all the applets will be
loaded, with each applet appearing in its own window. Likewise, when
multiple URLs are specified, each applet tag instance is given its own
window. If a given document contains no recognized tags the
'appletviewer' does nothing.
appletviewer http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/
Use the second form to test an applet in development. This form
allows applet tag attributes to be supplied on the command line. Only
one applet may be specified using the '-code' option. The '-code'
option overrides the URL form - any URLs specified will be ignored.
appletviewer -code Test.class -param datafile,data.txt
'gcjwebplugin' uses the third form to communicate with the
'appletviewer' through named pipes.
URL OPTIONS
'-debug'
This option is not yet implemented but is provided for
compatibility.
'-encoding CHARSET'
Use this option to specify an alternate character encoding for the
specified HTML page.
APPLET TAG OPTIONS
'-code CODE'
Use the '-code' option to specify the value of the applet tag CODE
attribute.
'-codebase CODEBASE'
Use the '-codebase' option to specify the value of the applet tag
CODEBASE attribute.
'-archive ARCHIVE'
Use the '-archive' option to specify the value of the applet tag
ARCHIVE attribute.
'-width WIDTH'
Use the '-width' option to specify the value of the applet tag
WIDTH attribute.
'-height HEIGHT'
Use the '-height' option to specify the value of the applet tag
HEIGHT attribute.
'-param NAME,VALUE'
Use the '-param' option to specify values for the NAME and VALUE
attributes of an applet PARAM tag.
PLUGIN OPTION
'-plugin INPUT,OUTPUT'
'gcjwebplugin' uses the '-plugin' option to specify the named pipe
the 'appletviewer' should use for receiving commands (INPUT) and
the one it should use for sending commands to 'gcjwebplugin'
(OUTPUT).
DEBUGGING OPTION
'-verbose'
Use the '-verbose' option to have the 'appletviewer' print
debugging messages.
STANDARD OPTIONS
'-help'
Use the '-help' option to have the 'appletviewer' print a usage
message, then exit.
'-version'
Use the '-version' option to have the 'appletviewer' print its
version, then exit.
'-JOPTION'
Use the '-J' option to pass OPTION to the virtual machine that will
run the 'appletviewer'. Unlike other options, there must not be a
space between the '-J' and OPTION.

1.2 The 'gcjwebplugin' Tool
===========================
'gcjwebplugin' is a plugin that adds applet support to web browsers.
Currently 'gcjwebplugin' only supports Mozilla-based browsers (e.g.,
Firefox, Galeon, Mozilla).

2 Security Tools
****************
Two Security Tools are available with GNU Classpath: 'jarsigner' and
'keytool'.
To avoid conflicts with other implementations, the jarsigner
executable is called 'gjarsigner' and the keytool executable is called
'gkeytool'.
* Menu:
* jarsigner Tool:: Sign and verify .JAR files
* keytool Tool:: Manage private keys and public certificates
If while using these tools you think you found a bug, then please
report it at classpath-bugs
(http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/bugs.html).

File: cp-tools.info, Node: jarsigner Tool, Next: keytool Tool, Prev: Security Tools, Up: Security Tools
2.1 The 'jarsigner' Tool
========================
The 'jarsigner' tool is invoked from the command line, in one of two
forms, as follows:
jarsigner [OPTION]... FILE ALIAS
jarsigner -verify [OPTION]... FILE
When the first form is used, the tool signs the designated JAR file.
The second form, on the other hand, is used to verify a previously
signed JAR file.
FILE is the .JAR file to process; i.e., to sign if the first syntax
form is used, or to verify if the second syntax form is used instead.
ALIAS must be a known Alias of a Key Entry in the designated Key
Store. The private key material associated with this Alias is then used
for signing the designated .JAR file.
* Menu:
* Common jarsigner Options:: Options used when signing or verifying a file
* Signing Options:: Options only used when signing a .JAR file
* Verification Options:: Options only used when verifying a .JAR file

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Common jarsigner Options, Next: Signing Options, Prev: jarsigner Tool, Up: jarsigner Tool
2.1.1 Common options
--------------------
The following options may be used when the tool is used for either
signing, or verifying, a .JAR file.
'-verbose'
Use this option to force the tool to generate more verbose
messages, during its processing.
'-internalsf'
When present, the tool will include -which otherwise it does not-
the '.SF' file in the '.DSA' generated file.
'-sectionsonly'
When present, the tool will include in the '.SF' generated file
-which otherwise it does not- a header containing a hash of the
whole manifest file. When that header is included, the tool can
quickly check, during verification, if the hash (in the header)
matches or not the manifest file.
'-provider PROVIDER_CLASS_NAME'
A fully qualified class name of a Security Provider to add to the
current list of Security Providers already installed in the JVM
in-use. If a provider class is specified with this option, and was
successfully added to the runtime -i.e. it was not already
installed- then the tool will attempt to remove this Security
Provider before exiting.
'-help'
Prints a help text similar to this one.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Signing Options, Next: Verification Options, Prev: Common jarsigner Options, Up: jarsigner Tool
2.1.2 Signing options
---------------------
The following options may be specified when using the tool for signing
purposes.
'-keystore URL'
Use this option to specify the location of the key store to use.
The default value is a file URL referencing the file named
'.keystore' located in the path returned by the call to
'java.lang.System#getProperty(String)' using 'user.home' as
argument.
If a URL was specified, but was found to be malformed -e.g. missing
protocol element- the tool will attempt to use the URL value as a
file-name (with absolute or relative path-name) of a key store -as
if the protocol was 'file:'.
'-storetype STORE_TYPE'
Use this option to specify the type of the key store to use. The
default value, if this option is omitted, is that of the property
'keystore.type' in the security properties file, which is obtained
by invoking the static method call 'getDefaultType()' in
'java.security.KeyStore'.
'-storepass PASSWORD'
Use this option to specify the password which will be used to
unlock the key store. If this option is missing, the User will be
prompted to provide a password.
'-keypass PASSWORD'
Use this option to specify the password which the tool will use to
unlock the Key Entry associated with the designated Alias.
If this option is omitted, the tool will first attempt to unlock
the Key Entry using the same password protecting the key store. If
this fails, you will then be prompted to provide a password.
'-sigfile NAME'
Use this option to designate a literal that will be used to
construct file names for both the '.SF' and '.DSA' signature files.
These files will be generated, by the tool, and placed in the
'META-INF' directory of the signed JAR. Permissible characters for
NAME must be in the range "a-zA-Z0-9_-". All characters will be
converted to upper-case ones.
If this option is missing, the first eight characters of the ALIAS
argument will be used. When this is the case, any character in
ALIAS that is outside the permissible range of characters will be
replaced by an underscore.
'-signedjar FILE'
Use this option to specify the file name of the signed JAR. If
this option is omitted, then the signed JAR will be named the same
as FILE; i.e., the input JAR file will be replaced with the signed
copy.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Verification Options, Prev: Signing Options, Up: jarsigner Tool
2.1.3 Verification options
--------------------------
The following options may be specified when using the tool for
verification purposes.
'-verify'
Use this option to indicate that the tool is to be used for
verification purposes.
'-certs'
This option is used in conjunction with the '-verbose' option.
When present, along with the '-verbose' option, the tool will print
more detailed information about the certificates of the signer(s)
being processed.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: keytool Tool, Prev: jarsigner Tool, Up: Security Tools
2.2 The 'keytool' Tool
======================
Cryptographic credentials, in a Java environment, are usually stored in
a Key Store. The Java SDK specifies a Key Store as a persistent
container of two types of objects: Key Entries and Trusted Certificates.
The security tool 'keytool' is a Java-based application for managing
those types of objects.
A Key Entry represents the private key part of a key-pair used in
Public-Key Cryptography, and a signed X.509 certificate which
authenticates the public key part for a known entity; i.e. the owner of
the key-pair. The X.509 certificate itself contains the public key part
of the key-pair.
A Trusted Certificate is a signed X.509 certificate issued by a
trusted entity. The Trust in this context is relative to the User of
the 'keytool'. In other words, the existence of a Trusted Certificate
in the Key Store processed by a 'keytool' command implies that the User
trusts the Issuer of that Trusted Certificate to also sign, and hence
authenticates, other Subjects the tool may process.
Trusted Certificates are important because they allow the tool to
mechanically construct Chains of Trust starting from one of the Trusted
Certificates in a Key Store and ending with a certificate whose Issuer
is potentially unknown. A valid chain is an ordered list, starting with
a Trusted Certificate (also called the anchor), ending with the target
certificate, and satisfying the condition that the Subject of
certificate '#i' is the Issuer of certificate '#i + 1'.
The 'keytool' is invoked from the command line as follows:
keytool [COMMAND] ...
Multiple COMMANDs may be specified at once, each complete with its
own options. 'keytool' will parse all the arguments, before processing,
and executing, each 'COMMAND'. If an exception occurs while executing
one COMMAND 'keytool' will abort. Note however that because the
implementation of the tool uses code to parse command line options that
also supports GNU-style options, you have to separate each command group
with a double-hyphen; e.g
keytool -list -- -printcert -alias mykey
Here is a summary of the commands supported by the tool:
1. Add/Update commands
'-genkey [OPTION]...'
Generate a new Key Entry, eventually creating a new key store.
'-import [OPTION]...'
Add, to a key store, Key Entries (private keys and certificate
chains authenticating the public keys) and Trusted
Certificates (3rd party certificates which can be used as
Trust Anchors when building chains-of-trust).
'-selfcert [OPTION]...'
Generate a new self-signed Trusted Certificate.
'-cacert [OPTION]...'
Import a CA Trusted Certificate.
'-identitydb [OPTION]...'
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET.
Import a JDK 1.1 style Identity Database.
2. Export commands
'-certreq [OPTION]...'
Issue a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) which can be then
sent to a Certification Authority (CA) to issue a certificate
signed (by the CA) and authenticating the Subject of the
request.
'-export [OPTION]...'
Export a certificate from a key store.
3. Display commands
'-list [OPTION]...'
Print one or all certificates in a key store to 'STDOUT'.
'-printcert [OPTION]...'
Print a human-readable form of a certificate, in a designated
file, to 'STDOUT'.
4. Management commands
'-keyclone [OPTION]...'
Clone a Key Entry in a key store.
'-storepasswd [OPTION]...'
Change the password protecting a key store.
'-keypasswd [OPTION]...'
Change the password protecting a Key Entry in a key store.
'-delete [OPTION]...'
Delete a Key Entry or a Trusted Certificate from a key store.

2.2.1 Getting help
------------------
To get a general help text about the tool, use the '-help' option; e.g.
keytool -help
To get more specific help text about one of the tool's command use
the '-help' option for that command; e.g.
keytool -genkey -help
In both instances, the tool will print a help text and then will exit
the running JVM.
It is worth noting here that the help messages printed by the tool
are I18N-ready. This means that if/when the contents of the tool's
Message Bundle properties file are available in languages other than
English, you may see those messages in that language.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Common keytool Options, Next: Distinguished Names, Prev: Getting Help, Up: keytool Tool
2.2.2 Common options
--------------------
The following 'OPTION's are used in more than one 'COMMAND'. They are
described here to reduce redundancy.
'-alias ALIAS'
Every entry, be it a Key Entry or a Trusted Certificate, in a key
store is uniquely identified by a user-defined ALIAS string. Use
this option to specify the ALIAS to use when referring to an entry
in the key store. Unless specified otherwise, a default value of
'mykey' shall be used when this option is omitted from the command
line.
'-keyalg ALGORITHM'
Use this option to specify the canonical name of the key-pair
generation algorithm. The default value for this option is 'DSS'
(a synonym for the Digital Signature Algorithm also known as DSA).
'-keysize SIZE'
Use this option to specify the number of bits of the shared modulus
(for both the public and private keys) to use when generating new
keys. A default value of '1024' will be used if this option is
omitted from the command line.
'-validity DAY_COUNT'
Use this option to specify the number of days a newly generated
certificate will be valid for. The default value is '90' (days) if
this option is omitted from the command line.
'-storetype STORE_TYPE'
Use this option to specify the type of the key store to use. The
default value, if this option is omitted, is that of the property
'keystore.type' in the security properties file, which is obtained
by invoking the static method call 'getDefaultType()' in
'java.security.KeyStore'.
'-storepass PASSWORD'
Use this option to specify the password protecting the key store.
If this option is omitted from the command line, you will be
prompted to provide a password.
'-keystore URL'
Use this option to specify the location of the key store to use.
The default value is a file URL referencing the file named
'.keystore' located in the path returned by the call to
'java.lang.System#getProperty(String)' using 'user.home' as
argument.
If a URL was specified, but was found to be malformed -e.g. missing
protocol element- the tool will attempt to use the URL value as a
file-name (with absolute or relative path-name) of a key store -as
if the protocol was 'file:'.
'-provider PROVIDER_CLASS_NAME'
A fully qualified class name of a Security Provider to add to the
current list of Security Providers already installed in the JVM
in-use. If a provider class is specified with this option, and was
successfully added to the runtime -i.e. it was not already
installed- then the tool will attempt to removed this Security
Provider before exiting.
'-file FILE'
Use this option to designate a file to use with a command. When
specified with this option, the value is expected to be the fully
qualified path of a file accessible by the File System. Depending
on the command, the file may be used as input or as output. When
this option is omitted from the command line, 'STDIN' will be used
instead, as the source of input, and 'STDOUT' will be used instead
as the output destination.
'-v'
Unless specified otherwise, use this option to enable more verbose
output.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Distinguished Names, Next: Add/Update Commands, Prev: Common keytool Options, Up: keytool Tool
2.2.3 X.500 Distinguished Names
-------------------------------
A Distinguished Name (or DN) MUST be supplied with some of the
'COMMAND's using a '-dname' option. The syntax of a valid value for
this option MUST follow RFC-2253 specifications. Namely the following
components (with their accepted meaning) will be recognized. Note that
the component name is case-insensitive:
CN
The Common Name; e.g. 'host.domain.com'
OU
The Organizational Unit; e.g. 'IT Department'
O
The Organization Name; e.g. 'The Sample Company'
L
The Locality Name; e.g. 'Sydney'
ST
The State Name; e.g. 'New South Wales'
C
The 2-letter Country identifier; e.g. 'AU'
When specified with a '-dname' option, each pair of component/value
will be separated from the other with a comma. Each component and value
pair MUST be separated by an equal sign. For example, the following is
a valid DN value:
CN=host.domain.com, O=The Sample Company, L=Sydney, ST=NSW, C=AU
If the Distinguished Name is required, and no valid default value can
be used, the tool will prompt you to enter the information through the
console.

2.2.4 Add/Update commands
-------------------------
* Menu:
* Command -genkey:: Generate private key and self-signed certificate
* Command -import:: Import certificates and certificate replies
* Command -selfcert:: Generate self-signed certificate
* Command -cacert:: Import a CA Trusted Certificate
* Command -identitydb:: Import JDK-1 style identities

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Command -genkey, Next: Command -import, Prev: Add/Update Commands, Up: Add/Update Commands
2.2.4.1 The '-genkey' command
.............................
Use this command to generate a new key-pair (both private and public
keys), and save these credentials in the key store as a Key Entry,
associated with the designated (if was specified with the '-alias'
option) or default (if the '-alias' option is omitted) Alias.
The private key material will be protected with a user-defined
password (see '-keypass' option). The public key on the other hand will
be part of a self-signed X.509 certificate, which will form a 1-element
chain and will be saved in the key store.
'-alias ALIAS'
For more details *note ALIAS: alias.
'-keyalg ALGORITHM'
For more details *note ALGORITHM: keyalg.
'-keysize KEY_SIZE'
For more details *note KEY_SIZE: keysize.
'-sigalg ALGORITHM'
The canonical name of the digital signature algorithm to use for
signing certificates. If this option is omitted, a default value
will be chosen based on the type of the key-pair; i.e., the
algorithm that ends up being used by the -keyalg option. If the
key-pair generation algorithm is 'DSA', the value for the signature
algorithm will be 'SHA1withDSA'. If on the other hand the key-pair
generation algorithm is 'RSA', then the tool will use 'MD5withRSA'
as the signature algorithm.
'-dname NAME'
This a mandatory value for the command. If no value is specified
-i.e. the '-dname' option is omitted- the tool will prompt you to
enter a Distinguished Name to use as both the Owner and Issuer of
the generated self-signed certificate.
For more details *note X.500 DISTINGUISHED NAME: dn.
'-keypass PASSWORD'
Use this option to specify the password which the tool will use to
protect the newly created Key Entry.
If this option is omitted, you will be prompted to provide a
password.
'-validity DAY_COUNT'
For more details *note DAY_COUNT: validity.
'-storetype STORE_TYPE'
For more details *note STORE_TYPE: storetype.
'-keystore URL'
For more details *note URL: keystore.
'-storepass PASSWORD'
For more details *note PASSWORD: storepass.
'-provider PROVIDER_CLASS_NAME'
For more details *note PROVIDER_CLASS_NAME: provider.
'-v'
For more details *note verbose::.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Command -import, Next: Command -selfcert, Prev: Command -genkey, Up: Add/Update Commands
2.2.4.2 The '-import' command
.............................
Use this command to read an X.509 certificate, or a PKCS#7 Certificate
Reply from a designated input source and incorporate the certificates
into the key store.
If the Alias does not already exist in the key store, the tool treats
the certificate read from the input source as a new Trusted Certificate.
It then attempts to discover a chain-of-trust, starting from that
certificate and ending at another Trusted Certificate, already stored in
the key store. If the '-trustcacerts' option is present, an additional
key store, of type 'JKS' named 'cacerts', and assumed to be present in
'${JAVA_HOME}/lib/security' will also be consulted if found
-'${JAVA_HOME}' refers to the location of an installed Java Runtime
Environment (JRE). If no chain-of-trust can be established, and unless
the '-noprompt' option has been specified, the certificate is printed to
'STDOUT' and the user is prompted for a confirmation.
If Alias exists in the key store, the tool will treat the
certificate(s) read from the input source as a Certificate Reply, which
can be a chain of certificates, that eventually would replace the chain
of certificates associated with the Key Entry of that Alias. The
substitution of the certificates only occurs if a chain-of-trust can be
established between the bottom certificate of the chain read from the
input file and the Trusted Certificates already present in the key
store. Again, if the '-trustcacerts' option is specified, additional
Trusted Certificates in the same 'cacerts' key store will be considered.
If no chain-of-trust can be established, the operation will abort.
'-alias ALIAS'
For more details *note ALIAS: alias.
'-file FILE'
For more details *note FILE: file.
'-keypass PASSWORD'
Use this option to specify the password which the tool will use to
protect the Key Entry associated with the designated Alias, when
replacing this Alias' chain of certificates with that found in the
certificate reply.
If this option is omitted, and the chain-of-trust for the
certificate reply has been established, the tool will first attempt
to unlock the Key Entry using the same password protecting the key
store. If this fails, you will then be prompted to provide a
password.
'-noprompt'
Use this option to prevent the tool from prompting the user.
'-trustcacerts'
Use this option to indicate to the tool that a key store, of type

For more details *note ALIAS: alias.
'-sigalg ALGORITHM'
The canonical name of the digital signature algorithm to use for
signing the certificate. If this option is omitted, a default
value will be chosen based on the type of the private key
associated with the designated Alias. If the private key is a
'DSA' one, the value for the signature algorithm will be
'SHA1withDSA'. If on the other hand the private key is an 'RSA'
one, then the tool will use 'MD5withRSA' as the signature
algorithm.
'-dname NAME'
Use this option to specify the Distinguished Name of the newly
generated self-signed certificate. If this option is omitted, the
existing Distinguished Name of the base certificate in the chain
associated with the designated Alias will be used instead.

as a Trusted Certificate. The Alias for this new entry will be
constructed from the FILE's base-name after replacing hyphens and dots
with underscores.
This command is useful when used in a script that recursively visits
a directory of CA certificates to populate a 'cacerts.gkr' Key Store of
trusted certificates which can then be used commands that specify the
'-trustcacerts' option.

4 Generating HTML Documentation
*******************************
Gjdoc can be used in two ways: as a stand-alone documentation tool, or
as a driver for a user-specified Doclet. *Note Other Doclets::.
In the default mode, Gjdoc will use the Standard Doclet 'HtmlDoclet'
to generate a set of HTML pages. The canonical usage is:
gjdoc -s src/java/ -all -d api-docs/
Here, 'src/java/' is the root of your source code class hierarchy,
'-all' means that all valid Java files found under this root directory
should be processed, and 'api-docs/' is the directory where the
generated documentation should be placed.
To learn more about running Doclets other than the Standard Doclet,
refer to the manual. *Note Invoking a Custom Doclet::.

4.3 Selecting which Source Files to Process
===========================================
'-s PATHLIST'
'-sourcepath PATHLIST'
Look for source files in the specified directory or directories.
PATHLIST should be one or more directory paths separated by your
platform's path separator (usually ':' or ';').
If this option is not given, 'gjdoc' will look for source files in
the current directory.
The directories specified should be root directories in terms of
the Java package system. For example, if you want to generate
documentation for classes in package 'foo.bar', you must specify
the directory containing the top-level ''foo'' sub-directory, not
the directory ''foo/bar/'' in which the Java source files reside.
The short-hand alias '-s' is specific to 'gjdoc' and not compatible
to Sun 'javadoc'.
'-all'
_[EXPERIMENTAL]_ Process all valid Java source files found in the
directories listed in the source path and their sub-directories.
This is an option specific to 'gjdoc' and not compatible to Sun
'javadoc'.
'-subpackages PKG:PKG:...'
Process the classes in the given Java packages and all
sub-packages, recursively. Note that multiple package names must
be separated with colons instead of whitespace.
'-exclude PKG:PKG:...'
Do not process classes in the given Java packages and all
sub-packages, recursively. This option can be used in conjunction
with '-all' or '-subpackages' in order to exclude individual
packages or package sub-trees from the output.
'PACKAGES...'
Process all classes in the given Java packages.
'SOURCEFILES...'
Process the classes in the given Java source files.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Source Format Options, Next: Interlinking Options, Prev: Source Set Options, Up: gjdoc Tool
4.4 Specifying the Format of Input Files
========================================
'-source RELEASE'
Assume that the source files are targeted at the given release of
the Java platform.
RELEASE should be the version number of a Java platform release in
the format MAJOR.MINOR, for example '1.4'.
This option is currently ignored except that an error is raised if
a release number other than '1.2', '1.3' or '1.4' is specified.
'-encoding CHARSET'
Assume that the source files are encoded using CHARSET.
Examples for CHARSET are 'US-ASCII', 'ISO-8859-1' or 'UTF-8'.
The semantics of CHARSET are identical to those of
'java.nio.charset.Charset.forName(String)'.
'-breakiterator'
Use the locale's java.text.BreakIterator instead of the internal
first sentence detector.
By default, 'gjdoc' uses an internal algorithm to determine where a
sentence ends. When this option is given, it will instead use the
'java.text.BreakIterator' instance for the locale given with
'-locale' (or the default locale).
This option should be specified when applying 'gjdoc' to source
code commented in a non-latin language for which the default first
sentence detector does not work. For all other cases, the default
(do not use BreakIterator) produces better results at the time of
this writing.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Interlinking Options, Next: Output Control Options, Prev: Source Format Options, Up: gjdoc Tool
4.5 Interlinking with other Documentation Sets
==============================================
'-link URL'
Create hyperlinks to another documentation set.
By default, 'gjdoc' will only create hyperlinks to classes in the
source set. Use this option to additionally create hyperlinks to
classes covered by the specified documentation set.
URL should be the root URL of the other documentation set. For
example, to add hyperlinks to GNU Classpath, specify the following:
-link http://developer.classpath.org/doc/
The '-link' option can be specified multiple times.
Note that specifying the '-link' option will cause an HTTP access
every time gjdoc is invoked. You can use '-linkoffline' instead to
avoid this access.
'-linkoffline URL FILE'
Create hyperlinks to another documentation set which is also
present on the local file system.
This option works exactly like '-link', except that it accesses the
local file system instead of the network for determining which
classes are covered by the linked documentation set.
When using '-linkoffline' the remote documentation set is not
accessed at all, which can significantly speed up generation time
depending on your network connection. The generated hyperlinks to
the documentation set however refer to the remote set, not to the
local one, so that you can distribute the documentation without any
further dependencies.
The '-linkoffline' option can be specified multiple times.
'-noqualifier PKG:PKG:...'
Do not qualify names of classes in the given packages with their
package name.
By default, a class name is displayed unqualified only if the class
is part of the source set or a linked documentation set, and
qualified with the name of its containing package if it is not.
You can use this option to force unqualified names for classes even
if they are not part of the documentation set.
For example, usually a reference to the String class is represented
fully-qualified as 'java.lang.String' (unless you link to the
appropriate documentation set using '-link') because it isn't part
of the documentation set. You can specify '-noqualifier java.lang'
to render the same references just as 'String'.
Note that for all unqualified class names, a tooltip is provided
when you place your mouse pointer over it in the HTML
documentation.
'-noqualifier 'all''
Omit package name qualifier from all class names.
Specify this option to omit package name qualifiers altogether,

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Generation Options, Next: Decoration Options, Prev: Output Control Options, Up: gjdoc Tool
4.6 Selecting which Information to Generate
===========================================
'-public'
Only include public members of public classes in the output. By
default, protected class members are included as well.
'-protected'
Include public or protected members of public classes in the
output. This is the default.
'-package'
Include public, protected and package-private members of public and
package-private classes.
'-private'
Include all classes and class members regardless of their access
level.
'-splitindex'
Generate one index page per letter instead of a single, monolithic
index page.
By default, the index created by the Standard Doclet contains all
entries on a single page. This is fine for small documentation
sets, but for large sets you should specify this option.
'-nosince'
Ignore '@since' tags in javadoc comments.
By default, the generated output contains sections listing the
version of your API since which the package, class or class member
in question exists when this tag is encountered. Specify this
option to omit this information.
'-notree'
Do not generate any tree pages.
By default, the generated output includes one inheritance tree per
package, and - if the documentation set consists of multiple
packages - a page with the full inheritance tree. Specify this
option to omit generation of these pages.
'-noindex'
Do not output the alphabetical index.
By default, gjdoc generates an alphabetical index of all program
elements in the documentation set (packages, classes, inner
classes, constructors, methods, and fields). Specify this option
to omit this information.
'-nohelp'
Do not generate the help page.
This option is currently ignored as the Standard Doclet doesn't
provide a help page.
'-nodeprecated'
Do not output inline information about deprecated packages, classes
or class members.
By default, the Standard Doclet adds a highlighted paragraph with
deprecation information to the description of each deprecated
program element. Specify this option to omit this information.
'-nodeprecatedlist'
Do not output the summary page for deprecated API elements.
By default, the Standard Doclet generates a page listing all
deprecated API elements along with a deprecation description which
usually includes the reason for deprecation and possible
alternatives. Specify this option to omit this information.
'-nonavbar'
Do not output the navigation bar, header, and footer.
By default, each output page is equipped with a top navigation bar
(which may include a user-specified header) and a bottom navigation
bar (which may include a user-specified footer). Specify this
option to omit this decoration.
'-nocomment'
Omit all documentation text from the generated files and output
only declarations and program element relationships.
This option is here for compatibility with 'javadoc'. If you plan
on extracting information about your project via 'gjdoc', you
should consider using a different Doclet for your purposes instead,
for example XmlDoclet. You could also use the Doclet API directly
by implementing a new Doclet.
'-linksource'
Generate a page with syntax-highlighted source code for each class.
By default, this page is not generated.
The source code can be accessed by clicking on the button labelled
"Source" in the navigation bar, or by clicking on the name of a
constructor, field, method, or inner class in the detail section of
a class documentation page.
'-use'
Generate a page with cross-reference information. By default, this
page is not generated.
The cross-reference information can be accessed by clicking on the
button labelled 'Use' in the navigation bar.
The 'Use' page lists all classes/interfaces in the documentation
set that extend/implement the class (type) in question; fields of
the type; methods or constructors accepting a parameter of the
type; methods returning the type; and methods or constructors
throwing the type.
'-author'
Include author information in the output.
When specified, author information as specified using the '@author'
tag in javadoc comments is incorporated into the output. By
default, '@author' tags are ignored.
'-version'
Include version information in the output.
When specified, version information as specified using the
'@version' tag in javadoc comments is incorporated into the output.
By default, '@version' tags are ignored.
'-licensetext'
Assume that the first comment in each source file contains the
license text, and add license information to the footer of each
generated class page.
This is an option specific to 'gjdoc' and not compatible to Sun
'javadoc'.
This option is intended for use with free and open source projects
where source code is typically prefixed with a boilerplate license
comment, when there are legal reasons for including the license in
the documentation.
'-docfilessubdirs'
Recursively copy all files in the 'doc-files' sub-directory of each
package directory.
Usually, only the files in the 'doc-files' sub-directory are copied
without descending recursively.
*Note Adding Custom Resources::.
'-excludedocfilessubdir NAME:NAME:...'
Do not copy some directories directly under the 'doc-files'
sub-directories when descending recursively.
The argument to this option should be a colon-separated list of
directory names.
This option only makes sense if '-docfilessubdirs' is also
specified. In this case, any sub-directory located directly
beneath a 'doc-files' directory is omitted if listed.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Taglet Options, Next: Virtual Machine Options, Prev: Decoration Options, Up: gjdoc Tool
4.7 Custom Documentation Tags
=============================
'-tagletpath PATHLIST'
Search PATHLIST when loading subsequent Taglet classes specified
using '-taglet'.
PATHLIST should be one or more paths to a directory or jar file,
separated by your platform's path separator (usually ':' or ';').
'-taglet CLASSNAME'
Register a Taglet.
CLASSNAME should be the fully-qualified name of a Java class
implementing 'com.sun.tools.doclets.Taglet'.
The Taglet classes will be loaded from the classpath specified
using '-tagletpath', from the classpath specified using
'-classpath' and from the default classpath.
See the documentation of 'com.sun.tools.doclets.Taglet' for further
information.
Note that for simple tags, there is also '-tag'.
'-tag TAGSPEC'
Register a generic Taglet.
The format of TAGSPEC must be '<tagname>:<flags>:"<taghead>"'.
TAGNAME is the tag name to match, without the leading @ sign.
FLAGS is one or more of the following characters, where each
character specifies a source code context in which the tag is to be
recognized.
'a'
all contexts
'c'
constructors
'f'
fields
'm'
methods
'o'
overview
'p'
packages
't'
types (classes, interfaces, exceptions, errors)
'X'
special character which temporarily disables the Taglet
altogether.
TAGHEAD is the string to display in the header of the section
devoted to the tag in question.
For example, to define a tag matching '@cvsid' which is to be
accepted in overview, package and type pages and which is labelled
with the header 'CVS ID', you would specify:
-tag cvsid:tpo:"CVS ID"
Let's say that a class javadoc comment contains
@cvsid $Id: cp-tools.texinfo,v 1.9 2012-03-07 15:27:27 gnu_andrew Exp $
Then the HTML output will contain something like
CVS ID:
$Id: cp-tools.texinfo,v 1.9 2012-03-07 15:27:27 gnu_andrew Exp $

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Doclet Options, Next: Other Doclets, Prev: Verbosity Options, Up: gjdoc Tool
4.8 Running Other Doclets
=========================
'-docletpath PATHLIST'
Search PATHLIST when loading classes for the Doclet specified using
'-doclet'.
PATHLIST should be one or more paths to a directory or jar file,
separated by your platform's path separator (usually ':' or ';').
'-doclet CLASSNAME'
Run the specified doclet instead of the standard HtmlDoclet.
CLASSNAME should be the fully-qualified name of a class which has a
public default constructor and contain a method with the following
signature:
import com.sun.javadoc.RootDoc;
public static boolean start(RootDoc rootDoc)
The Doclet classes will be loaded from the classpath specified
using '-docletpath', from the classpath specified using
'-classpath' and from the default classpath.
The 'start' method should process the information exposed by the
Doclet API via 'rootDoc' and return 'true' on success, 'false' on
failure.
If you are using a third-party doclet, refer to its documentation
for further instructions. Note that support for third-party
doclets is experimental. Please report any problems you encounter,
or provide feedback when successfully running third-party applets.
This option can be specified multiple times, in which case all
doclets are executed with the same information tree exposed via the
Doclet API for each Doclet run.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Decoration Options, Next: Taglet Options, Prev: Generation Options, Up: gjdoc Tool
4.9 Adding Information to the Output
====================================
'-windowtitle TEXT'
Use TEXT as the browser window title prefix.
When specified, the browser window title for each page will be
prefixed with TEXT instead of the default string 'Generated API
Documentation'.
TEXT should be plain text (it should not contain HTML tags).
'-doctitle TEXT'
Set the header text of the overview page to TEXT.
TEXT should be a short plain text string.
When generating documentation for a single package, specifying this
option forces generation of the overview page.
'-header HTMLTEXT'
Add HTMLTEXT to the right upper corner of every generated page.
HTMLTEXT is usually set to the name of the project being
documented.
'-footer HTMLTEXT'
Add HTMLTEXT to the right bottom corner of every generated page.
HTMLTEXT is often set to the same value as for '-header'.
'-bottom HTMLTEXT'
Add HTMLTEXT to the very bottom of every generated page, spanning
the whole width of the page. When specified, HTMLTEXT usually
consists of a copyright notice and/or links to other project pages.
'-addstylesheet FILE'
Augment the default CSS style sheets with the user-specified
stylesheet FILE.
The given stylesheet is simply loaded by each HTML page in addition
to the default ones, as the last stylesheet.
Note that the CSS cascading rules apply. That is, your style
properties will only be assigned if they have a higher cascading
order than 'gjdoc''s default style. One simple way to make sure
that this is the case is to declare your overrides '!important'.
See <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#cascading-order>.
'-group HEADING PKGWILDCARD:PKGWILDCARD:...'
Arrange the given packages in a separate group on the overview
page.
The first argument should be a short plain text which is used as
the title of the package group. The second argument should be a
colon-separated list of package wildcards. The group will consist
of all packages in the documentation set whose name matches any of
the given wildcards.
There is only one wildcard character, '*', which matches both
letters in package name components and the '.' separating package
name components. For example, 'j*regex' would match package
'java.util.regex'. A more useful example would be 'javax.swing*'
to match 'javax.swing' and all of its sub-packages.
This option can be given multiple times.
FIXME: Information about group nesting here.
gjdoc -group "Core Classes" 'java*' \
-group "Swing" 'javax.swing*' \
-group "XML APIs" 'javax.xml*' \
-group "Other Extensions" javax* \
...
'-overview FILE'
Add the XHTML body fragment from FILE to the overview page.
FILE should contain an XHTML fragment with the HTML 'body' tag as
the root node. *Note XHTML Fragments::.
This option can be used to supply a description of the
documentation set as a whole.
When specified, the first sentence of the fragment will be put
above the tables listing the documented packages, along with a link
to the full copy of the fragment which is put below the tables.
*Note First Sentence Detector::.
When generating documentation for a single package, specifying this
option forces generation of the overview page.
'-stylesheetfile FILE'
Use the CSS stylesheet in FILE instead of the default CSS
stylesheets.
If you only want to override parts of the default stylesheets, use
'-addstylesheet' instead.
'-title TEXT'
_Deprecated._ Use '-doctitle' TEXT instead.
'-helpfile FILE'
This option is currently ignored.
When implemented, it will use the XHTML fragment in FILE for the
help page contents instead of the default help text.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Output Control Options, Next: Generation Options, Prev: Interlinking Options, Up: gjdoc Tool
4.10 Controlling the Output.
============================
'-d DIRECTORY'
Place all output files into DIRECTORY (and sub-directories).
DIRECTORY will be created if it does not exist, including all
non-existing parent directories and all required sub-directories.
If not specified, output will be placed into the current directory.
'-locale NAME'
Use locale NAME instead of the default locale for all purposes.
NAME should be a locale specifier in the form 'll_CC[_VAR]' where
'll' is a lowercase two-letter ISO-639 language code, 'CC' is an
optional uppercase two-letter ISO-3166 country code, and 'VAR' is
an optional variant code. For example, 'en' specifies English,
'en_US' specifies US English, and 'en_US_WIN' specifies a deviant
variant of the US English locale.
Note that the semantics of this option correspond exactly to those
of the constructors of class 'java.util.Locale'.
This option currently only determines which Collator is being used
for sorting output elements. This means that the locale will only
have an effect when you are using non-ASCII characters in
identifiers.
'-charset CHARSET'
_Deprecated._ Override the specified encoding in output XHTML
files with the one given by 'charset'.
If this option is not given, the encoding specification in output
XHTML is chosen to match the encoding used when writing the file
(the encoding given with '-docencoding', or your platform's default
encoding).
The semantics for CHARSET are specified here:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#NT-EncName>. For all
practical purposes, they are identical to those of the other
options accepting charset parameters.
This option is here for compatibility with 'javadoc' and should be
avoided.
'-docencoding CHARSET'
Use the given charset encoding when writing output files instead of
your platform's default encoding.
Examples for CHARSET are 'US-ASCII', 'ISO-8859-1' or 'UTF-8'.
The semantics of this option correspond exactly to those of the
constructors of class 'java.util.Locale'.
'-validhtml'
Force generation of valid XHTML code. This breaks compatibility to
the traditional Javadoc tool to some extent.
If this option is specified, anchor names will be mangled so that
they are valid according to the XHTML 1.1 specification. However,
a documentation set generated with this option cannot be linked to
properly using the traditional Javadoc tool. It can be linked to
just fine using Gjdoc, though.
Without this option, anchor names for executable class members use
the traditional format, for example: "foo(String,int[])". This is
compatible to the traditional Javadoc tool, but according to both
the HTML 4.0 and XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 specifications, this format
includes illegal characters. Parentheses, square brackets, and the
comma are not allowed in anchor names.
'-baseurl URL'
Hardwire a page URL relative to URL into each generated page.
If you are generating documentation which will exclusively be
available at a certain URL, you should use this option to specify
this URL.
This can help avoid certain redirect attacks used by spammers, and
it can be helpful for certain web clients.

4.11 Verbosity Options
======================
'-quiet'
Suppress all output except for warnings and error messages.
'-verbose'
Be very verbose about what 'gjdoc' is doing.
This option is currently ignored.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Virtual Machine Options, Next: Verbosity Options, Prev: Taglet Options, Up: gjdoc Tool
4.12 Virtual Machine Options
============================
Sun's 'javadoc' tool seems to be based on 'javac' and as such it seems
to operate on the VM level. 'gjdoc', in contrast, is a pure Java
application.
Therefore, 'gjdoc' can only fake, or simulate, the following VM-level
options.
'-classpath PATHLIST'
Set the Virtual Machine 'classpath' to PATHLIST.
In most cases you should use '-docletpath' or '-tagletpath' instead
of this option.
PATHLIST should be one or more paths to a directory or jar file,
separated by your platform's path separator (usually ':' or ';').
If this option is not intercepted at the wrapper level, 'gjdoc'
currently fakes it by calling
'System.setProperty("java.class.path", PATHLIST);' and outputs a
warning.
'-bootclasspath PATHLIST'
Set the Virtual Machine 'bootclasspath' to PATHLIST.
If this option is not intercepted at the wrapper level, 'gjdoc'
outputs a warning.
'-JVMOPT'
Pass an arbitrary parameter to the Virtual Machine 'gjdoc' runs on.
If this option is not intercepted at the wrapper level, 'gjdoc'
tries to emulate the option and outputs a warning.
Currently, only the VM option '-D' for setting system properties is
emulated.

4.13 Invoking a Custom Doclet
=============================
For invoking one of the other doclets shipping with 'gjdoc' or a
third-party doclet, the canonical usage is:
gjdoc -s src/java/ -all \
-docletpath /path/to/doclet.jar -doclet foo.BarDoclet \
(more Gjdoc core options and Doclet-specific options here)
'/path/to/doclet.jar' is a placeholder for a class path specifying
where the Doclet classes and dependencies can be found and
'foo.BarDoclet' is the fully-qualified name of the Doclet's main class.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Doclet Invocation Interface, Next: Using AbstractDoclet, Up: Writing Doclets
6.2.1 Implementing the Doclet Invocation Interface
--------------------------------------------------
A Doclet is a class that contains a method with the following signature:
public static boolean start(RootDoc rootDoc);
ROOTDOC is the root of an object hierarchy containing the information
'gjdoc' extracted from the source files. See the Doclet API for more
details.
'start' should process all the information and return 'true' on
success, 'false' on failure.
For printing status information, the Doclet should use methods
'printNotice', 'printWarning' and 'printError' instead of 'System.err'.
The Doclet can opt to use 'System.out' for redirectable output.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Using AbstractDoclet, Next: GNU Doclet SPI, Prev: Doclet Invocation Interface, Up: Writing Doclets
6.2.2 Deriving Your Doclet from AbstractDoclet
----------------------------------------------
You may want your Doclet to provide functionality similar to HtmlDoclet.
For example, you may want it to support Taglets, generate Index, Tree,
and Uses pages, or show other cross-reference information like
'Overrides' and 'All Implementing Classes'.
This information is not directly provided by the Doclet API, so your
Doclet would normally have to assemble it itself. For example, it would
have to add the names of all program elements to a list and sort this
list in order to create the Index page.
If you want to provide this information or part of it, you should
consider deriving your class from
'gnu.classpath.tools.doclets.AbstractDoclet'. This class provides the
following benefits:
* Handles options '-tag', '-taglet', '-tagletpath' (Taglets)
* Provides standard taglets for @version, @author, @since, @serial,
@deprecated, @see, @param, @return and handles all related options
('-version', '-author', '-nosince', '-nodeprecated')
* Handles option '-d' (destination directory)
* Handles option '-noqualifier' (classes to omit qualifier for)
* Handles options '-docfilessubdirs' and '-excludedocfilessubdir'
(resource copying)
* Can generate a full index or an index split by first letter
* Can generate a full tree and package trees
* Can generate cross-reference information
* Can aggregate interface information (all superinterfaces, all
subinterfaces, all implementing classes)
* Provides convenient access to constructors, fields, methods, and
inner classes sorted by name/signature instead of the default sort
order.
* Provides various other convenience methods
If you derive from 'AbstractDoclet', there are a number of things you
need to take care of:
*
you should not implement the 'start(RootDoc)' method as it is already
defined by 'AbstractDoclet' so that it can care about parsing the
options.
Instead, you implement method 'run()', 'getOptions()' and the other
abstract methods to define your Doclet's behavior.
Note that all information provided by 'AbstractDoclet' is evaluated
lazily. That is, if your Doclet doesn't need to create an Index page,
then 'AbstractDoclet' will not spend resources on creating the
corresponding information.
See the API documentation for
'gnu.classpath.tools.doclets.AbstractDoclet' for more details.
You should be aware that if you base your Doclet on 'AbstractDoclet'
then you have to bundle this and all related classes with your Doclet,
with all implications such as possible licensing issues. Otherwise,
your Doclet will only be runnable on 'gjdoc' and not on other
documentation systems. Also note that 'AbstractDoclet' has not been
extensively tested in environments other than 'gjdoc'.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: GNU Doclet SPI, Prev: Using AbstractDoclet, Up: Writing Doclets
6.2.3 Preparing for the GNU Doclet Service Provider Interface
-------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to the standard Doclet invocation interface described above,
'gjdoc' also offers a Service Provider Interface conforming to the Java
standard. Adding support for this interface to your Doclet simplifies
usage for 'gjdoc' users because it makes your Doclet "discoverable".
In order to provide the alternate interface, you have to add a class
implementing 'gnu.classpath.tools.gjdoc.spi.DocletSpi' to your Doclet
classes, and bundle all Doclet classes in a Jar file along with a file
named 'META_INF/services/gnu.classpath.tools.gjdoc.spi.DocletSpi' which
contains the name of your class implementing DocletSpi on a single line.
Note that if your Doclet depends on third-party classes bundled in
separate Jar files, you can link in these classes using the
'Class-path:' Manifest attribute of your Doclet Jar.
Your Doclet can then be invoked in one of the following ways:
gjdoc -docletjar /path/to/doclet.jar
gjdoc -docletpath /path/to/doclet.jar -docletname DOCLETNAME
gjdoc -docletname DOCLETNAME
Here, DOCLETNAME is the name of your doclet as returned by
'DocletSpi.getDocletName()'.
The last example will only work if your Doclet Jar is in 'gjdoc''s
'doclets' directory or if it is on the classpath.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: XHTML Fragments, Next: First Sentence Detector, Prev: Writing Doclets, Up: Gjdoc Concepts
6.3 Well-formed Documentation Fragments
=======================================
For many Doclets it is advantagous if the HTML code in the comments and
HTML code passed via the command line is well-formed. For example,
HtmlDoclet outputs XHTML code, and XmlDoclet XML code, both of which
results in invalid files if the user-specified HTML isn't wellformed.
Unfortunately, comments were never required to contain well-formed
HTML code, which means that every Doclet must deal with non-wellformed
code as well.
The 'gjdoc' built-in Doclets deal with this problem by "fixing" the
HTML code - making sure that all tags are closed, attribute values are
provided and quoted, tags are properly nested, etc.
This approach works OK in most instances, but since it uses some
crude heuristics it can sometimes produce undesirable result.
Therefore, in order to make sure that your comments are always
properly formatted, make sure they are well-formed as described in
XHTML 1.0: Documents must be well-formed (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.1).
In addition, you should use meaningful tags instead of text
formatting tags to make your output look better in other output formats
derived from your HTML code. For example, you should use the <em> tag
instead of <b> if you want to emphasize text.

6.4 How Gjdoc Determines where the First Sentence Ends
======================================================
For a package, class or member summary, 'gjdoc' only shows the first
sentence of the documentation comment in question. Because 'gjdoc' is
not human, it is not always obvious to 'gjdoc' where the first sentence
ends.
You might be tempted to say that the first sentence ends at the first
occurrence of a punctuation character like '.' or '!'. However,
consider examples like this:
This work, by Thomas J. Shahan et al., is about the middle ages.
As you can see, it is not trivial to determine the end of the
sentence.
'gjdoc' gives you the choice between two approaches. By default it
uses built-in heuristics which should be compatible to Sun's 'javadoc'
tool. This approach works quiet well in most cases, at least for
english comments.
Alternatively, you can specify option '-breakiterator' in which case
'gjdoc' will use
'java.text.BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance(LOCALE).next()' to find the
end of sentence, where LOCALE is the locale specified by option
'-locale' or the default locale if none specified.
_NOT YET IMPLEMENTED:_
'gjdoc' also allows you to explicitly delineate the first sentence by
putting it in a '<span>' tag with the CSS class 'first-sentence'. For
example:
/**
* <span class="first-sentence">This. is. the. first.
* sentence.</span> This is the second sentence.
*/
Note that this will only work with 'gjdoc', but shouldn't hurt when
using another documentation system since the '<span>' tag usually
doesn't show up in the output.

6.5 Adding Images and Other Resources
=====================================
Sometimes you want to decorate your documentation with secondary
resources such as images, SVG graphics, applets, and so on. To do so,
simply put the required files in a subdirectory 'doc-files' in the
package directory corresponding to the documentation entry you want to
decorate, and refer to it with the URL 'doc-files/FILENAME'.
For example, if you want to add an image to the description of class
'baz.FooBar', create a directory 'doc-files' in the directory 'baz'
containing 'FooBar.java' and put your file, say 'diagram.png', into that
directory. Then, add the HTML code like this to a comment in
'FooBar.java':
<img src="doc-files/diagram.png" width="200" height="150"
alt="Foo Diagram"/>
This works because the 'doc-files' subdirectories will be copied to
the target documentation directory every time you generate the
documentation.
Note however that by default, the 'doc-files' directory will not be
copied deeply. In other words, if you create subdirectories under
'doc-files' they will not be copied and any resources located in these
subdirectories will not be accessible in your generated documentation.
You can specify option '-docfilessubdirs' to remove this limitation.
Sometimes you want to use option '-docfilessubdirs', but there are
certain directories which you don't want to be copied, for example
because they contain source files for the resources in 'doc-files'. For
cases like this, use '-excludedocfilessubdir' to specify directories to
be omitted.

7 I18N Issues
*************
Some tools -*note Security Tools::- allow using other than the English
language when prompting the User for input, and outputting messages.
This chapter describes the elements used to offer this support and how
they can be adapted for use with specific languages.
* Menu:
* Language Resources:: Where resources are located
* Message Formats:: How messages are internationalized

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Language Resources, Next: Message Formats, Prev: I18N Issues, Up: I18N Issues
7.1 Language-specific resources
===============================
The Tools use Java 'ResourceBundle's to store messages, and message
templates they use at runtime to generate the message text itself,
depending on the locale in use at the time.
The Resource Bundles these tools use are essentially Java Properties
files consisting of a set of Name/Value pairs. The Name is the Property
Name and the Value is a substitution string that is used when the code
references the associated Name. For example the following is a line in
a Resource Bundle used by the 'keytool' Tool:
Command.23=A correct key password MUST be provided
When the tool needs to signal a mandatory but missing key password,
it would reference the property named 'Command.23' and the message "'A
correct key password MUST be provided'" will be used instead. This
indirect referencing of "resources" permits replacing, as late as
possible, the English strings with strings in other languages, provided
of course Resource Bundles in those languages are provided.
For the GNU Classpath Tools described in this Guide, the Resource
Bundles are files named 'messages[_ll[_CC[_VV]]].properties' where:
LL
Is the 2-letter code for the Language,
CC
Is the 2-letter code for the Region, and
VV
Is the 2-letter code for the Variant of the language.
The complete list of language codes can be found at Code for the
representation of names of languages
(http://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt). A similar
list for the region codes can be found at ISO 3166 Codes (Countries)
(http://userpage.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html).
The location of the Resource Bundles for the GNU Classpath Tools is
specific to each tool. The next table shows where these files are found
in a standard GNU Classpath distribution:
'jarsigner'
'gnu/classpath/tools/jarsigner'
'keytool'
'gnu/classpath/tools/keytool'
The collection of Resource Bundles in a location act as an inverted
tree with a parent-child relationship. For example suppose in the
'gnu/classpath/tools/keytool' there are 3 message bundles named:
1. 'messages.properties'
2. 'messages_fr.properties'
3. 'messages_fr_FR.properties'
In the above example, bundle #1 will act as the parent of bundle #2,
which in turn will act as the parent for bundle #3. This ordering is
used by the Java runtime to choose which file to load based on the set
Locale. For example if the Locale is 'fr_CH', 'messages_fr.properties'
will be used because (a) 'messages_fr_CH.properties' does not exist, but
(b) 'messages_fr.properties' is the parent for the required bundle, and
it exists. As another example, suppose the Locale was set to 'en_AU';
then the tool will end up using 'messages.properties' because (a)
'messages_en_AU.properties' does not exist, (b) 'messages_en.properties'
which is the parent for the required bundle does not exist, but (c)
'messages.properties' exists and is the root of the hierarchy.
You can see from the examples above that 'messages.properties' is the
safety net that the Java runtime falls back to when failing to find a
specific bundle and its parent(s). This file is always provided with
the Tool. In time, more localized versions will be included to cater
for other languages.
In the meantime, if you are willing to contribute localized versions
of these resources, grab the 'messages.properties' for a specific tool;
translate it; save it with the appropriate language and region suffix
and mail it to 'classpath@gnu.org'.

File: cp-tools.info, Node: Message Formats, Prev: Language Resources, Up: I18N Issues
7.2 Message formats
===================
If you open any of the 'messages.properties' described in the previous
section, you may see properties that look like so:
Command.67=Issuer: {0}
Command.68=Serial number: {0,number}
Command.69=Valid from: {0,date,full} - {0,time,full}
Command.70=\ \ \ \ \ until: {0,date,full} - {0,time,full}
These are Message Formats used by the tools to customize a text
string that will then be used either as a prompt for User input or as
output.
If you are translating a 'messages.properties' be careful not to
alter text between curly braces.
