Kwant
The kwant command creates a Java build specification based on the information in your ant build file. The kwant command intercepts the invocation of the javac task, and generates a build specification, which can then be used to analyze a Java project.
Prerequisites
Before you can create a build specification, you need to:
- install the Server package. See Installing Klocwork.
- install Ant. See Supported Java build tools to see what versions are supported.
- JAVA_HOME, JDK_HOME and PATH environment variables must be configured with the same values as your Ant build. Below is an example for PATH:
- Unix:
PATH=<path_to_ant>/bin:<path_to_JDK>/bin:<klocwork_install>/bin:$PATH
- Windows:
PATH=<path_to_ant>\bin;<path_to_JDK>\bin;<klocwork_install>\bin;%PATH%
For how-to information, see Creating a Java build specification.
Usage
kwant <ant_options>
where <ant_options> are any arguments required for your ant build
Options
Name (and short name) | Description |
---|---|
--help (-h) | display help |
--version | display kwant version |
--output <file> (-o) | write the build specification to <file>. By default, the build specification is written to kwinject.out in the current working directory. |
--update (-u) | when specified, the existing build specification is updated with the results of the new incremental build instead of overwriting it. |
