- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### public FileSystemCompiler(CompilerConfiguration configuration)

      Creates a file-system compiler using the supplied configuration.

      throws:
        ConfigurationException if the compilation unit cannot be created
      Parameters:
        `configuration` - the compiler configuration to apply

    - #### public FileSystemCompiler(CompilerConfiguration configuration, CompilationUnit cu)

      Creates a file-system compiler using the supplied configuration and optional prebuilt compilation unit.

      throws:
        ConfigurationException if the compilation unit cannot be created
      Parameters:
        `configuration` - the compiler configuration to apply
        `cu` - an existing compilation unit to reuse, or `null` to build a suitable one

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### public static int checkFiles(String[] filenames)

      Counts unreadable or missing source files in the supplied list.

      Parameters:
        `filenames` - the file names to validate
      Returns:
        the number of invalid file entries

    - #### public static void commandLineCompile(String[] args)

      Same as main(args) except that exceptions are thrown out instead of causing the VM to exit.

    - #### public static void commandLineCompile(String[] args, boolean lookupUnnamedFiles)

      Same as main(args) except that exceptions are thrown out instead of causing the VM to exit and the lookup for .groovy files can be controlled

    - #### public static void commandLineCompileWithErrorHandling(String[] args, boolean lookupUnnamedFiles)

      Primary entry point for compiling from the command line (using the groovyc script).

      If calling inside a process and you don't want the JVM to exit on an error call commandLineCompile(String[]), which this method simply wraps

      Parameters:
        `args` - command line arguments
        `lookupUnnamedFiles` - do a lookup for .groovy files not part of the given list of files to compile

    - #### public void compile(String[] paths)

      Compiles the sources at the supplied paths.

      throws:
        Exception if compilation fails
      Parameters:
        `paths` - the source paths to compile

    - #### public void compile(File[] files)

      Compiles the supplied source files.

      throws:
        Exception if compilation fails
      Parameters:
        `files` - the source files to compile

    - #### public static CommandLine configureParser(FileSystemCompiler.CompilationOptions options)

      Creates and configures the command-line parser for compilation options.

      Parameters:
        `options` - the options object to bind parser results to
      Returns:
        the configured parser
