Annotation Type Precompile

@Retention(SOURCE) @Repeatable(Precompiles.class) @Deprecated public @interface Precompile
Deprecated.
Use -Amanifold.resource.<file-ext>=[type-name-regex] javac command line arguments.
Use @Precompile to instruct Manifold to precompile classes from a specified type manifold. This is useful for cases where a type manifold produces a static API for others to use. Note you maybe provide more than one instance of @Precompile to precompile types from more than one type manifold: 
@Precompile(fileExtension = "json")
@Precompile(fileExtension = "yml")
This instructs the Java compiler to precompile all JSON and YAML in the enclosing module.

The default behavior: 

@Precompile()
compiles all types from all type manifolds used in the module.

    Description
    String
    fileExtension
    Deprecated.
    A file extension name e.g., "json", handled by the Type Manifold class defining the domain of types to compile.
    Class<?>
    typeManifold
    Deprecated.
    The Type Manifold class defining the domain of types to compile from.
    String
    typeNames
    Deprecated.
    A regular expression defining the range of types that should be compiled from typeManifold() or fileExtension() via ITypeManifold#getAllTypeNames().

    • typeManifold

      Class<?> typeManifold
      Deprecated.
      The Type Manifold class defining the domain of types to compile from.

      Use fileExtension() as a convenient alternative way to specify the type manifold via a file extension it handles.

      Default:
      java.lang.Object.class

    • fileExtension

      String fileExtension
      Deprecated.
      A file extension name e.g., "json", handled by the Type Manifold class defining the domain of types to compile. This value is an alternative to typeManifold() as a simple way to indirectly specify the ITypeManifold. If both arguments are present, typeManifold() has precedence.

      The default wildcard value "*" precompiles types from all type manifolds used in the module

      Default:
      "*"

    • typeNames

      String typeNames
      Deprecated.
      A regular expression defining the range of types that should be compiled from typeManifold() or fileExtension() via ITypeManifold#getAllTypeNames(). The default value ".*" compiles all types originating from the specified type manifold.
      Default:
      ".*"
