# jwsbuild - The Java WorkShop Batch Builder

> `jwsbuild` compiles Java WorkShop projects.

### Synopsis

> `jwsbuild` `[` options `]` project-name`.prj`

### Description

> The `jwsbuild` command builds Java WorkShop projects from the command line. You can add `jwsbuild` commands to makefiles and scripts. Some of the advantages of using `jwsbuild` rather than calling the Java compiler directly are:
> - `jwsbuild` gets its information from the same project file as the Java WorkShop builder. This enables you to maintain the project definition a single location.
> - `jwsbuild` automatically generates the map file used by the Java WorkShop debugger.

> The project-name argument is the path name of the project file.

> Options can be specified using the option's first character. For example, `/K` can be used in place of `/KEEPGOING`.

> The `/javac` and `/JDKClasspath` options must be spelled out entirely.

### Options

> Options are available in both Microsoft Windows 95/NT and UNIX syntax. For compatibility, such as in makefiles and scripts, the Unix syntax ("-" delimiter) is recognized on both Microsoft Windows 95/NT and Solaris systems. UNIX syntax must be used on Solaris systems.
