Retrieving target directory from a META service

[bertung]

Is there a way to receive the compilation target directory from a service defined in a META service? I tried TeaVMHost in TeaVMPlugin but I think host properties are meant for something else. I need to produce some files along with the compiled output
using our annotation configuration defined in classes.

Sorry, I don't understand your question. Which service do you mean? Can you provide any details or a sample project?

Do you really need TeaVM for that? Can't you write an annotation processor?

Okay, in a TeaVMPlugin, is there a way to get the target directory where the compiled JS code written into?

is there a way to get it in that fashion using META-INF/services

[konsoletyper]

No

TeavmTool class has "properties" if I add target directory to the properties, will I be able to get it in TeavmPlugin using TeaVMHost getProperties method?

[konsoletyper]

Yes, you can do that using properties.

Thank you

Okay, I did

tool.getProperties().put("targetDirectory", targetDirectory);

in my TeavmTool, it is correctly set and not null;however, the properties are passed blank to the TeavmPlugin.

Looks like the getProperties method in TeaVM class returns an instance of Properties with defaults. When Properties class is created with defaults, put and get method wont work. The putProperty and getProperty methods should be used instread. Now it works.
