Field Detail

### DEFAULT

    static final CompilerConfiguration DEFAULT

  A convenience for getting a default configuration. Do not modify it! See #CompilerConfiguration(Properties) for an example on how to make a suitable copy to modify. But if you're really starting from a default context, then you probably just want `new CompilerConfiguration()`.

### POST_JDK5

    static final String POST_JDK5

  This (`"1.5"`) is the value for targetBytecode to compile for a JDK 1.5 or later JVM. *

### PRE_JDK5

    static final String PRE_JDK5

  This (`"1.4"``) is the value for targetBytecode to compile for a JDK 1.4 JVM. *`

### currentJVMVersion

    static final String currentJVMVersion

Constructor Detail

### CompilerConfiguration

    public CompilerConfiguration()

  Sets the Flags to defaults.

### CompilerConfiguration

    public CompilerConfiguration(CompilerConfiguration configuration)

  Copy constructor. Use this if you have a mostly correct configuration for your compilation but you want to make a some changes programmatically. An important reason to prefer this approach is that your code will most likely be forward compatible with future changes to this configuration API.
  An example of this copy constructor at work:

          // In all likelihood there is already a configuration in your code's context
          // for you to copy, but for the sake of this example we'll use the global default.
          CompilerConfiguration myConfiguration = new CompilerConfiguration(CompilerConfiguration.DEFAULT);
          myConfiguration.setDebug(true);

  param:
    configuration The configuration to copy.

### CompilerConfiguration

    public CompilerConfiguration(Properties configuration)

  Sets the Flags to the specified configuration, with defaults for those not supplied. Note that those "defaults" here do not include checking the settings in System#getProperties() in general, only file.encoding, groovy.target.directory and groovy.source.encoding are.
  If you want to set a few flags but keep Groovy's default configuration behavior then be sure to make your settings in a Properties that is backed by `System.getProperties()` (which is done using this constructor).
  That might be done like this:

          Properties myProperties = new Properties(System.getProperties());
          myProperties.setProperty("groovy.output.debug", "true");
          myConfiguration = new CompilerConfiguration(myProperties);

  And you also have to contend with a possible SecurityException when getting the system properties (See System#getProperties).
  An safer method would be to copy a default CompilerConfiguration and make your changes there using the setter.

          // In all likelihood there is already a configuration for you to copy,
          // but for the sake of this example we'll use the global default.
          CompilerConfiguration myConfiguration = new CompilerConfiguration(CompilerConfiguration.DEFAULT);
          myConfiguration.setDebug(true);

  Another reason to use the copy constructor rather than this one is that you must call #setOutput. Calling `setOutput(null)` is valid and will set up a `PrintWriter` to a bit bucket. The copy constructor will of course set the same one as the original.
