does not compute, need input.

Okay, just take the carburetor and waffle it into an elephant.

Well, in that case, there's no need to lemur the bicycle.

How did you arrive at the need to "convert Java code to a flat file"? Are you trying to compile source code, or something else? Do you have a friend that can help you translate your ideas to English, if English is not your native language?

Finally we have some honesty around here.

Phew. I always hated that bit. Could never get used to the concrete

i hava java code generated from a program called mapforce(xml). on mapforce is it takes forever. someone thought that it might be quicker to take the java generated code and put it into a compiler and get the same file that mapforce does

by "it" i mean, "compiling" or "parsing" or whatever the hell it says

So you want to compile an autogenerated .java file into a .class file?

Is that your question?

yes...sorry, not language savvy

they want it to be done in Xcode...for some reason

So you want to compile a Java file using a Max OS X IDE?

Why not just use javac?

This is probably the wrong forum, then. It's not likely you'll understand the advice being given to you.

How is this code generated? I'd be hoping to include the code generation as a build step, and then the compilation of that generated code as the next step in the same (automated) build

But in all honesty it sounds like you're a bit out of your depth and you need to go back to whoever asked you to do this and get more solid requirements. This isn't a criticism of you, in any way

That's my point. This forum is largely for answering questions about Java development. What it seems you need is either a service to compile the software for you, or step-by-step tutoring on how to compile Java source code, neither of which are particularly conducive to this forum. I'm not trying to be dismissive, but this really isn't the place for the kind of help you seem to need.
