since i'm too lazy to write at the moment, i'll just cut and paste the mailing list text: <Bryon Abbott> When you get the following types of errors, what is the best way to temporarily change the compile options to view the more detailed output? Compiling 1 source file to /home/bryon/nbProjects/Pictures/build/classes Note: /home/bryon/nbProjects/Pictures/src/bma/netbeans/modules/pictures/Pictures.java uses or overrides a deprecated API. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. Note: /home/bryon/nbProjects/Pictures/src/bma/netbeans/modules/pictures/Pictures.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details. compile: </Bryon Abbot> <Tom Ball> For deprecation, you can specify "deprecation=true" in the args in your javac task. Other -Xlint arguments are a little harder, because you have to embed a compilarg element, like: <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"> <compilerarg value="-Xlint:all"/> </javac> Ant doesn't have a temporary way to turn on error-checking, but many NetBeans projects do so by setting a project property: <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" deprecated="${my.project.deprecated.flag}"> </javac> My preference is to turn on the strictest error-checking the source allows, clean up the warnings, and then leave it there to catch possible regressions.
