SetupAndTest Command

The SetupAndTest command has the following synopsis:

java com.sun.tdk.signaturetest.SetupAndTest [arguments]

TABLE 2-6describes all arguments available to the SetupAndTest command. See “Case Sensitivity of Command Arguments” on page 16 and CLASSPATH and -classpathSettings” on page 10. SetupAndTest requires sigtestdev.jar in the CLASSPATH environment variable.

Command Description

SetupAndTest is a wrapper command that runs only in the static mode to execute the Setup and SignatureTest commands in one operation. It performs these functions:

1.Calls the Setup command to create a signature file from the reference API specified as input. It creates a temporary signature file if no name is specified for it with the -FileNameoption.

2.Calls the SignatureTest command to make the comparison and produce a report.

TABLE 2-6SetupAndTest Command Argument

-help

-reference path

Optional. Displays usage information for available command arguments and exits.

Required. Specifies the path to the classes to be used for creating the signature file.

-test path

 

Required. Path to the packages being tested.

-FileName

file

Optional. Specifies the signature file name.

 

 

The command execution uses a temporary

 

 

file if not specified.

-package

package_or_class_name

Optional. Specifies a class or package to be

 

 

reported on, including its subpackages if a

 

 

package is specified. This argument acts as a

 

 

filter on the set of classes or packages that

 

 

are tested and reported on. The default is all

 

 

classes and packages. Repeat the argument

 

 

to specify multiple entries.

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.
