Make javac treat warnings as errors

by

Use the -Werror flag. It’s not listed in the -help output, but it works.

I found it through this blog entry and tested on my own code (in NetBeans with Ant). The output was:

MyClass.java:38: warning: [serial] serializable class MyClass has no definition of serialVersionUID
public class MyClass extends JComponent {
1 warning
BUILD FAILED (total time: 3 seconds)

Note that this is Java 6 only, though.

Edit: Example of specifying this in Ant buildfile:

<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}" classpathref="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1040074/classpath">
    <compilerarg value="-Xlint:all"/>
    <compilerarg value="-Werror"/>
</javac>
