TABLE 2-5SignatureTest Command Arguments (Continued)

Option

 

Description

 

 

 

-NoMerge

 

Optional. Forces using the first encountered class

 

 

description if more than one class with the same

 

 

name is found in the input set of signature files

 

 

specified by -Filesoption. In this case it uses

 

 

the class from the left-most signature file that is

 

 

specified with -Files. This option prevents the

 

 

test from using the default merging behavior

 

 

according to the JSR 68 rules. See “Signature File

 

 

Merge Rules” on page 11 for details on the rules

 

 

used for merging.

-package

package_or_class_name

Optional. Specifies a class or package to be

 

 

reported on, including its subpackages if a

 

 

package is specified. The default is all classes and

 

 

packages in the signature file. This argument acts

 

 

as a filter on the set of classes or packages

 

 

optionally specified in -classpath. Repeat the

 

 

argument to specify multiple entries.

-PackageWithoutSubpackages

Optional. Similar to the -packageoption,

package

 

specifies a package to be reported on without its

 

 

subpackages. Repeat the option to specify

 

 

multiple entries.

-exclude

package_or_class_name

Optional. A package or class to be excluded from

 

 

the report, including its subpackages. Repeat the

option for multiple entries. Excludes duplicate entries specified by the -packageor the -PackageWithoutSubpackagesoption.

-outfile_name

-FormatPlain

Optional. Prints report messages to a specified file instead of standard output.

Optional. Specifies not to sort report messages, but output them immediately. Allows a decrease in memory consumption compared to the default sorted format of message reporting.

-apiVersionversion_string

-verbose

Optional. Specifies the API version number of the implementation under test to be recorded in the report.

Optional. Prints all error messages for inherited class members. Default is to remove all these error messages.

-ErrorAll

Optional. Specifies to make the signature test

 

more strict by upgrading certain warnings to

 

errors.

Sun Microsystems, founded in 1982, was a significant player in the computing industry, best known for its innovative technology solutions and workstations, particularly the Sun-4, which represented a key milestone in the company's history. The Sun-4 architecture, launched in 1987, utilized the SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) RISC processor, notable for its high performance and scalability.

One of the primary features of Sun Microsystems' platforms was their ability to efficiently handle multitasking and resource management, making them ideal for enterprise-level applications and development environments. Sun-4 workstations boasted impressive graphics capabilities with the addition of advanced graphical user interfaces, support for color displays, and the SUNVIEW windowing system, which enhanced user experience and productivity.

The Sun-4 systems also supported the SunOS operating system, which was based on UNIX. This operating system was engineered for stability and robustness, offering features like multiuser support, networked environments, and advanced security options. Moreover, SunOS provided seamless integration with various programming languages, including C and C++, facilitating software development that aligned with industry standards.

Another standout characteristic of Sun Microsystems was its commitment to open systems and standards. By providing developers with comprehensive tools and environments, such as the Standardized Application Programming Interface (API) and support for networking protocols, Sun facilitated interoperability among different computing platforms. The emphasis on open architecture also meant that customers could easily upgrade their systems without being locked into proprietary solutions.

Sun Microsystems was also ahead of its time with innovations in network computing. Their workstations were among the first to support network file systems and distributed computing concepts, enabling seamless data sharing across multiple systems. With the introduction of the Network File System (NFS), Sun revolutionized how data was accessed and managed across networks, which played a significant role in the evolving landscape of client-server computing.

In summary, the Sun Microsystems 2 and its successive innovations in workstation technology highlighted the company's forward-thinking approach. By integrating powerful performance with open systems, robust operating systems, and advanced networking capabilities, Sun laid the groundwork for modern computing, influencing various sectors from academia to enterprise solutions. Even after its acquisition by Oracle in 2010, the legacy of Sun Microsystems continues to be felt across the computing industry.
