public interface FileCreating<C extends Compiler>
extends CompilerOption<C>

The interface implemented by all elements that result in the creation of one or more target files. Any compiler option could theoretically result in the creation of one or more files. A compiler wrapper needs to be aware of the files it creates so it can perform cleanup if necessary.

Implementing this interface allows compiler options to inform the compiler instance of the files that they will result in when used.

Method Summary

java.util.List<java.lang.String>

creates(C compiler, CompilerPhase phase) Returns a list of filenames representing the files that are created due to the presence of this compiler option.
