[jdt-core-dev] Unable to use -properties option in ecj-3.6.1.jar

[David Resnick <abunetta@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the potentially extremely helpful new batch compiler
option "-properties" (as described at
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv/guide/jdt_api_compile.htm
).

No matter what variation I try, each time I use it I get the message
"Unrecognized option : -properties". BTW, I'm using the
JDTCompilerAdapter.

I've tried this with ecj-3.6.1.jar and ecj-3.6.jar from the JDT Core
Batch Compiler download section (e.g.
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6.1-201009090800/index.php).
I've also tried using org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.6.1.v_A68_R36x.jar from
eclipse-jee-helios-SR1-linux-gtk/plugins.

One strange thing I've noticed is that with both versions (3.6 and
3.6.1) the version reported with the -? option is "Eclipse Java
Compiler 0.963, 3.5.0 rc3".

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here or how they've used the
-properties option?

Thanks,
David
