Hello CMake,

my name is Andreas Schneider and I'm working for Red Hat. At the end of last year I've worked on Dogtag PKI [1]. The Dogtag Certificate System [2] is an enterprise-class open source Certificate Authority.

The project is written in serveral different laguages (C, C++ and Java), so I've used CMake as the new build system. To be able to build the java project I needed Java support in CMake. So I've started to write functions to compile java files, find jar files, bundle jar files and generate javadoc.

It should provide everything to build java and jni projects. You find the files here:

http://git.cryptomilk.org/projects/cmake-tools.git/tree/language/java


FindJNI.cmake:

        Find JNI libraries and headers. I think this is the file from CMake
        itself.

FindJava.cmake:

        Find all needed Java tools like javac, javadoc, jar, etc.

UseJava.cmake:

        This file provides all needed function to support creating java
        projects in CMake. Most of the function are documented in detail.
        There is some documentation missing. I will add this soon.

UseJavaClassFilelist.cmake:

        This is needed to find the class files in the build directory. One
        .java file can create multiple .class files. So you have to glob for
        these file. There is support to only look for certain .class files.

UseJavaSymlinks.cmake:

        This is a helper to create symlinks for versioned jar files.


git clone git://git.cryptomilk.org/projects/cmake-tools.git


It would be nice if this would be included into the CMake distribution, but at the moment there is still documentation missing. I hope that this will help some people to get their Java project built with CMake.

Comments, suggestions and patches are welcome!

Best regards,

Hi Andreas,
I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Java developer (and also Fedora user) so it makes me very happy to know that someone are working to integrate Java in CMake. My question is: shouldn't Ant be enough? Or better, Could invoking an Ant file as pre/post build command in CMakeLists always accomplish any kind of build requirement?
