Compiling J# Applications
You can compile J# source code to either executable (.exe) or dynamic link library (DLL) assemblies. Once compiled, the binary assemblies reside in either the bin\debug or bin\release directory, depending on your compiler switch settings.

There are various ways to build your assemblies:

1. Clicking Build Solution on the Build menu, or pressing CTRL+SHIFT, B, compiles one or more projects in the order that they are displayed in Solution Explorer or based on project dependencies that you specify.

2. Clicking Build <project> on the Build menu compiles only the project that you select from Solution Explorer.

3. Clicking Start Debugging on the Debug menu, or pressing F5, causes the program to be compiled with debugging symbols and information, and invokes your application in debug mode.

4. Clicking Start Without Debugging on the Debug menu, or clicking CTRL+F5 compiles changes, if there are any, and starts your executable.

Additionally, you can use the traditional command line switches to invoke the compiler. For example:

vjc myProgram.jsl
