Neither mention: --bootclasspath --extdirs --print-main 2) jcf-dump --help doesn't mention: --CLASSPATH --print-main --print-constants 3) Neither info/man nor --help mention that you can use jcf-dump on (all classes in) a jar archive. 4) Nowhere in the documentation is it stated clearly that you can jcf-dump classfiles (not just classes). 5) The description of -o in man and info is slightly puzzling: "Th[is] options [is] the same as the corresponding gcj option(...)." 6) The descriprition of --extdirs in --help is also intruiging: "Set extensions directory path". That doesn't seem sufficient to me. 7) I'm happy to submit patches if needed (though you're probably better of with patches from (one of) the maintainers). -- Summary: jcf-dump documentation is incomplete (and confusing) Product: gcc Version: 4.0.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: libgcj AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: pebolle at tiscali dot nl CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org,java-prs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23258
