do-like-javac (or dljc for short) is a tool for monitoring the build process of
a Java project and recording information about what parameters were passed to javac
for the purpose of later analysis. It can also automate the running of various
analysis tools, including:
do-like-javac supports projects built with:
- Apache Ant
- Apache Maven
- Gradle
- Manual invocation of
javac
- Python 2.7
That's it. No other external dependencies for the core do-like-javac scripts.
Of course, you will also need to have installed:
- The analysis tool(s) you want to run.
- Any build dependencies of the project you're analyzing.
do-like-javac was built and tested on Mac OS X and GNU/Linux. It probably also
works on Microsoft Windows, but the method of invocation is probably different and
we provide no support.
git clone https://github.com/SRI-CSL/do-like-javac.git
Then symlink the dljc executable to somewhere in your $PATH, e.g.
ln -s /path/to/dljc $HOME/bin/dljc
Invoke dljc from the directory of the project you want to analyze:
dljc -o logs -- ant build
Where "ant build" is replaced by whatever command builds your project. Output will be emitted to logs/toplevel.log
You may also run a checking tool on the discovered java files, by invoking with the -t option and a tool to use (e.g. "-t print", "-t inference" or "-t checker").
