xxx.java.keep

[Mike Cowlishaw-3]

Yes, the Java code in the .java.keep file is exactly the code that is
compiled to make the .class file.  (In fact, the .class file is created
by compiling that very same Java code, using the javac compiler.)

If I wanted packages to generate the class files in the correct
directories (like javac -d ..) using the netrexx compiler, would I have to
keep the .java files that are generated and call javac myself.  I don't
see a command-line switch to accompish the same thing as javac -d for my
netrexx code.

This is mostly a restriction imposed by the javac compiler -- it needs
to find the .java (source) files when there are multiple source files
being compiled together and there are interdependencies.  It's safest to
have the source and .class files both in the right position in a
CLASSPATH tree at the time of compile.  There's some more details
about this in the NetRexx installation document (under 'Using the
NetRexx compiler', 'Compiling multiple programs').
