Method Detail

loadClasses

public static void loadClasses(Map<String,String> sources,
                               GateClassLoader classLoader)
                        throws GateException

Compiles a set of java sources and loads the compiled classes in the gate class loader.

Parameters:

sources - a map from fully qualified classname to java source

classLoader - the classloader into which the sources should be compiled and loaded. Note that this classloader must also have access to all the classes required to compile the sources.

Throws:

GateException - in case of a compilation error or warning. In the case of warnings the compiled classes are loaded before the error is raised.

compile

public abstract void compile(Map<String,String> sources,
                             GateClassLoader classLoader)
                      throws GateException

Compile a set of Java sources, and load the resulting classes into the GATE class loader.

Parameters:

sources - a map from fully qualified classname to java source

classLoader - the classloader into which the sources should be compiled. Note that this classloader must also have access to all the classes required to compile the sources.

Throws:

GateException - in case of a compilation error or warning. In the case of warnings, the compiled classes are loaded before the exception is thrown.
