When run this code to compile a .java file in this directory:
String title = txtName.getText();
String name = title + ".Java";
String src = Minecraft.getMinecraft().mcDataDir.getParent().toString() + "/saves/" + world.getWorldInfo().getWorldName().toString() + "/TechRev/Compiler/";
compile(src + name);
With this method:
public void compile(String file) {
String fileToCompile = file;
JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
int compilationResult = compiler.run(null, null, null, fileToCompile);
if (compilationResult == 0) {
System.out.println("Compilation is successful");
} else {
System.out.println("Compilation Failed");
}
}
I get this error in the console of Eclipse Juno(Java 6):
2013-10-02 20:47:47 [INFO] [STDERR] javac: invalid flag: /Users/marko5049/Desktop/Modding/forge/mcp/jars/saves/TechRev/TechRev/Compiler/TechRev.Java

2013-10-02 20:47:47 [INFO] [STDOUT] Compilation Failed
Please could someone explain to me why this is happening and show me how to fix this? thanks!

Your filename ends with .Java
- it should be .java
. Otherwise the compiler doesn't expect it to be a source file, and tries to process it as a flag instead.
