Class BuildProblem

java.lang.Object
org.moeaframework.util.CommandLineUtility
org.moeaframework.builder.BuildProblem
public class BuildProblem extends CommandLineUtility
Command line tool for creating new natively-compiled problems. This tool will create a folder containing all the files needed to write and compile the problem, package everything into a JAR, and display instructions for using the generated files.

To define a new language:

  1. Create a nested package with the name of the language.
  2. Create a Manifest file with lines formatted as <sourceFile> -> <destinationFile>. This controls how the files are extracted into the destination folder.
  3. Create the individual files, typically with the extension .template to prevent compilation errors. These files can use ${key} string substitutions.
  4. Add the name of the language to LANGUAGES.
