I've got a problem for you.
I've got a bunch of Java files (.java) sitting around and they all contain a class declaration and an array of strings. I need to do stuff with the array. What is the best way to access it?
I tried using JavaCompiler class, but that didn't seem to work - so should I use regex or something?
Here's a sample of what the files look like:
package com.mypack.costmgr;
public class Cost_en extends java.util.ListResourceBundle {
static final Object[][] contents = new String[][] {
{"ACTIVE", "ACTIVE"},
{"Joe", "asfag"},
{"lolcats", "cheezburger"},
{"HELP", "OH GOD NOT THE BEES"},
{"asdfffff", "hacks"}
};
public Object[][] getContents() {
return contents;
}
}
And there's probably a hundred of these files.
So, to summarize: what is the best way to gain access to that data?
(Obviously, I cannot simply compile them with my project.)
You have to compile the .java
files and make them .class
files. Then you put those .class files on your classpath
. At this point you can now make a reference to the contents of each of those files. Since contents
is static
you can get a reference to it by doing the following:
class MyAwesomeClass
{
Object[][] myArray = Cost_en.contents;
}
