jbuilder [options] 

Options

-build <args>
This is a feature of JBuilder Professional and Enterprise.
Builds one or more JBuilder projects supplied as arguments. All settings are taken directly from the specified project files. The command-line build process reports errors and warnings as text which can be redirected to another process or file. It also returns the build as a result code to indicate failure or success and allows automation of build processes with other command-line tools.

To build a project, enter the following at the command line:

jbuilder -build project1.jpr project2.jpr ...
Note: Include the complete path to the project file. For example,
jbuilder -build /user/username/project1_folder/project1.jpr  ...

-help <args>
Lists the JBuilder command-line options available.

-info <args>
Displays system configuration information while loading.

-license <args>
Displays the license manager instead of starting JBuilder.

-nosplash <args>
Disables the splash screen displayed while loading.

-verbose <args>
Displays OpenTools loading diagnostics.
