JFlex

Class Main

public class Main extends Object implements ErrorMessages

This is the main class of JFlex controlling the scanner generation process. It is responsible for parsing the commandline, getting input files, starting up the GUI if necessary, etc.

Field Summary

Method Summary
static void	generate(File inputFile) Generates a scanner for the specified input file.
static void	generate(String[] argv)
static void	main(String[] argv) Starts the generation process with the files in `argv` or pops up a window to choose a file, when `argv` doesn't have any file entries.
