At last I've got this program to a working version. I'm sure there is still a lot of stuff that I can add to it, and it has by no means been exhaustively tested.

The program is designed to generate batch files to run and (if specified) compile java programs when the java bin directory and some other information is specified. I haven't provided any documentation with this "build", but I will do when I fix it up a bit.

Please note that the run.bat file provided in the zip archive will not work, you will need to edit it to run the program (or run it in your ide or however you would normally run programs). It is fairly ironic that you will probably end up using the program to generate a batch file to run itself :P

Planned changes:

  • I intend to implement the DefaultListModel class in JBC.java instead of using my own custom built list to make the code simpler and most probably more efficient
  • I am thinking about allowing the user to specify the names of the files that the program outputs. (there is already support for this in JBC.java)
  • I would like to add an option to keep the console visible after each batch script has run in order to support certain command line programs that do not do this by default.
  • I'm going to have to do some error checking on the paths at some point in time, could get strange bugs.


I'm sure that there are other changes that I could make and features that I could add, but I can't think of them at the moment, and please remember that this is designed to be a very basic program. I am not sure if it will run and complex programs.

I hope that someone uses the program and finds it useful. If you try it, could you please reply with some comments about the program, any bugs, etc.
