Java Compat Mapping for Modules
A Slice module maps to a Java package with the same name as the Slice module. The mapping preserves the nesting of the Slice definitions. For example:
Slice
// Definitions at global scope here...module M1{ // Definitions for M1 here... module M2 { // Definitions for M2 here... }}// ...module M1 // Reopen M1{ // More definitions for M1 here...} |
This definition maps to the corresponding Java definitions:
Java Compat
package M1;// Definitions for M1 here...package M1.M2;// Definitions for M2 here...package M1;// Definitions for M1 here... |
Note that these definitions appear in the appropriate source files; source files for definitions in module M1 are generated in directory M1 underneath the top-level directory, and source files for definitions for module M2 are generated in directory M1/M2 underneath the top-level directory. You can set the top-level output directory using the --output-dir option with slice2java.
You can also specify an enclosing Java package with the java:package metadata directive.
