22 Signature Test Tool 2.0 User’s Guide • April 2008
-NoMerge
Optional. Forces using the first encountered class
description if more than one class with the same
name is found in the input set of signature files
specified by
-Files option. In this case it uses
the class from the left-most signature file that is
specified with
-Files. This option prevents the
test from using the default merging behavior
according to the JSR 68 rules. See “Signature File
Merge Rules” on page 11 for details on the rules
used for merging.
-package package_or_class_name Optional. Specifies a class or package to be
reported on, including its subpackages if a
package is specified. The default is all classes and
packages in the signature file. This argument acts
as a filter on the set of classes or packages
optionally specified in
-classpath. Repeat the
argument to specify multiple entries.
-PackageWithoutSubpackages
package
Optional. Similar to the
-package option,
specifies a package to be reported on without its
subpackages. Repeat the option to specify
multiple entries.
-exclude package_or_class_name Optional. A package or class to be excluded from
the report, including its subpackages. Repeat the
option for multiple entries. Excludes duplicate
entries specified by the
-package or the
-PackageWithoutSubpackages option.
-out file_name Optional. Prints report messages to a specified
file instead of standard output.
-FormatPlain
Optional. Specifies not to sort report messages,
but output them immediately. Allows a decrease
in memory consumption compared to the default
sorted format of message reporting.
-apiVersion version_string Optional. Specifies the API version number of the
implementation under test to be recorded in the
report.
-verbose
Optional. Prints all error messages for inherited
class members. Default is to remove all these
error messages.
-ErrorAll
Optional. Specifies to make the signature test
more strict by upgrading certain warnings to
errors.
