20 Signature Test Tool 2.0 User’s Guide • April 2008
SignatureTest Command
The SignatureTest command has the following synopsis:
java com.sun.tdk.signaturetest.SignatureTest [arguments]
It follows the rules described in “Case Sensitivity of Command Arguments” on
page 16.
TABLE 2-5 lists the available arguments.
Note – SignatureTest command settings for the CLASSPATH environment
variable and the -classpath argument are the same as those listed for the Setup
command in TABLE 2-1.
Command Description
The SignatureTest command compares the reference API represented in a
signature file to the API under test and produces a report. Depending on the
command-line arguments specified, it uses either the reflection or static mode. If the
-classpath argument is specified, the SignatureTest command checks if any
extra classes are contained in the APIs it specifies.
See “Signature File Formats” on page 16 for details on supported versions of
signature file formats.
