Setup Command
The Setup command has the following synopsis:
java com.sun.tdk.signaturetest.Setup [arguments]
TABLE 2-2 describes the available command arguments and the values that they
accept. Before running the command, also see these sections: “CLASSPATH and
-classpath Settings” on page 10 and “Case Sensitivity of Command Arguments”
on page 16.
Command Description
The Setup command accepts a reference implementation of an API as input. The
command processes the API input to generate a signature file that represents the API
to be used as a reference of comparison for the purpose of signature testing.
Setup processes the API input in the static mode by parsing the set of classes
specified with the -classpath arguments.
Also see Appendix A for an example of the command that you can run.
