Description gaikokujin 2002-01-18 23:09:09 UTC
I was unable to specify a directory other than the source direcotry for the 
compiled class files. The following was what I did. 

- Open the Project Settings window. 
- Select External Compilation. 
- Select the Expert tab. 
- On Output Dir Tag Replace, type in -d d:\classes. 
- Select Java Sources nder Project Settings. 
- Set Default Compiler to External Compilation under Java Sources. 

When compiled, the class files still went to the source directory. 
But if I put the -d option in External Compilation/External Compiler along with 
what's in there, it worked. e.g. -d d:\classes {jdk.home}.... REPEATABILITY:
                        Reproducible

First, this is a java-module issue, not the experimental multicompile
module; recategorizing.

Secondly, please read the online help, and specifically note that you
need to change the Target property on the compiler. There is probably
no need to adjust Output Dir Tag Replace unless you use a strange
compiler. Please post to nbusers@netbeans.org if you need more help.
