javac -version??

[paarul saxena]

i have encountered javac -version as valid in few mocks and invalid on some..though its invalid on java compiler ..i have checked..
also..
does javax.swing support trees and tables...the answer is again ambigous

[Anand Shrivastava]

javac -version is correct. It gives the compiler version of the JDK.
and Swings do support trees and tables.

Well, javac -version works, and it sorta looks like it doesn't work.

Here's what I get when I do it locally:

C:\_jdk1.5\bin>javac -version
[B]javac 1.5.0_16[/B]
javac: no source files
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
where possible options include:

So, it works, but it spits out usage information, because it wants you to know that javac is supposed to be used to compile your code. But, it does indeed work!

Check out the Java applets on this page. There are AWT and Swing Applets. If you look at the SwingSet, you'll see plenty of lists and trees!
