## Class Javah

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
  - - org.apache.tools.ant.Task
    - - org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.Javah

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable

      public class Javah
      extends Task

  Generates JNI header files using javah. This task can take the following arguments:
  - classname - the fully-qualified name of a class
  - outputFile - Concatenates the resulting header or source files for all the classes listed into this file
  - destdir - Sets the directory where javah saves the header files or the stub files
  - classpath
  - bootclasspath
  - force - Specifies that output files should always be written (JDK1.2 only)
  - old - Specifies that old JDK1.0-style header files should be generated (otherwise output file contain JNI-style native method function prototypes) (JDK1.2 only)
  - stubs - generate C declarations from the Java object file (used with old)
  - verbose - causes javah to print a message to stdout concerning the status of the generated files
  - extdirs - Override location of installed extensions
  Of these arguments, either outputFile or destdir is required, but not both. More than one classname may be specified, using a comma-separated list or by using `<class name="xxx">` elements within the task.

  When this task executes, it will generate C header and source files that are needed to implement native methods.
