Description

As I promised here in JAMES-617 ... the gift...

Is a component for James (fully integrated), an automatic compiler of classes, to compile automatically Mailets, SMTPHandlerChains, etc, etc (if mailet/handler/class needs to compile other classes, it will do it so that everything compiles correctly).

I have proven it with these three, but surely he will be worth for more things.

The best thing is than it does not require to change other classes like JamesMailetLoader/MatcherLoader, SMTPHandlerChain,... and if you do not like or you do not use it, you can deactivate just by to change the config.xml

I believe that he is quite useful, since to add to a new Command in SMTPHandlerChain or new Mailet it is as easy as to place the Java sourcecode in a directory, change the config and Restart James, the rest... automatic.

• Uses Eclipse JDT Core Batch Compiler (3.2) : ecj.jar (1MB)
• Available at: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2-200606291905/index.php

• It can work with the JDTCompiler 3.1.2 that comes bundled with Tomcat 5.5 (jasper-compiler-jdt.jar), but is necessary to change two lines of code in the JDTCompiler.java (line: 350 / 423)
