<builder name="JavaH">
<summary>
<para>
Builds C header and source files for
implementing Java native methods.
The target can be either a directory
in which the header files will be written,
or a header file name which
will contain all of the definitions.
The source can be the names of <filename>.class</filename> files,
the names of <filename>.java</filename> files
to be compiled into <filename>.class</filename> files
by calling the &b-link-Java; builder method,
or the objects returned from the
&b-Java;
builder method.
</para>

<para>
If the construction variable
&cv-link-JAVACLASSDIR;
is set, either in the environment
or in the call to the
&b-JavaH;
builder method itself,
then the value of the variable
will be stripped from the
beginning of any <filename>.class</filename> file names.
</para>

<para>
Examples:
</para>

<example_commands>
# builds java_native.h
classes = env.Java(target="classdir", source="src")
env.JavaH(target="java_native.h", source=classes)

# builds include/package_foo.h and include/package_bar.h
env.JavaH(target="include", source=["package/foo.class", "package/bar.class"])

# builds export/foo.h and export/bar.h
env.JavaH(
    target="export",
    source=["classes/foo.class", "classes/bar.class"],
    JAVACLASSDIR="classes",
)
</example_commands>

<note>
<para>
Java versions starting with 10.0 no longer use the
<command>javah</command> command for generating JNI
headers/sources, and indeed have removed the command entirely
(see Java Enhancement Proposal
<ulink url="https:openjdk.java.net/jeps/313">JEP 313</ulink>),
making this tool harder to use for that purpose.
&SCons; may autodiscover a <command>javah</command>
belonging to an older release if there are multiple Java
versions on the system, which will lead to incorrect results.
To use with a newer Java, override the default values of &cv-link-JAVAH;
(to contain the path to the <command>javac</command>)
and &cv-link-JAVAHFLAGS; (to contain at least a <option>-h</option>
flag) and note that generating headers with
<command>javac</command> requires supplying source
<filename>.java</filename> files only,
not <filename>.class</filename> files.
</para>

<cvar name="JAVAH">
<summary>
<para>
The Java generator for C header and stub files.
</para>
</summary>
</cvar>

<cvar name="JAVAHCOM">
<summary>
<para>
The command line used to generate C header and stub files
from Java classes.
Any options specified in the &cv-link-JAVAHFLAGS; construction variable
are included on this command line.
</para>
</summary>
</cvar>

<cvar name="JAVAHCOMSTR">
<summary>
<para>
The string displayed when C header and stub files
are generated from Java classes.
If this is not set, then &cv-link-JAVAHCOM; (the command line) is displayed.
</para>

<example_commands>
env = Environment(JAVAHCOMSTR="Generating header/stub file(s) $TARGETS from $SOURCES")
</example_commands>
</summary>
</cvar>

<cvar name="JAVAHFLAGS">
<summary>
<para>
General options passed to the C header and stub file generator
for Java classes.
