When using an Ant build.xml file with the following target: <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" excludes="tests/**, classes/**" classpath="${all_libs};${weblogic_home}/lib/weblogic.jar;lib/eretail.jar" deprecation="${deprecated}" /> The JDTCompiler complains that it doesn't know the directory "-deprecation", and it causes the whole IDE to crash (looks like a System.exit()).
Olivier - Can you please do the necessary so that the batch compiler understands -deprecation ? You might also want to check the compiler exiting the IDE in case of problem (we want to *not* perform a System.exit(...) when running through the Ant task I think). Please double check with Platform/Ant.
Fixed and released in HEAD. -deprecation is now equivalent to -warn:deprecation. If -nowarn or - warn:none is specified after this option, it invalidates it.
I have found the problem on the pde.code side which led to a system.exit. The option -noExit was specified at the end. Then when an unknown option is used in the command line, the batch compiler did a system.exit. Putting this option (-noExit) as the first option doesn't crash the IDE anymore. You get an error message in the ant console instead. We need to provide a complete javac ant task based on our batch compiler to completely fix this problem. Hopefully the fix in pde.core will be released soon.
