btracec is a command for compiling the trace scripts down to class files.

The syntax is

btracec [-cp <classpath>] [-d <directory>] <one-or-more-BTrace-.java-files>

• classpath is the classpath used for compiling BTrace program(s). Default is "."
• directory is the output directory where compiled .class files are stored. Default is ".".

Rather than regular javac the BTrace compiler is used - causing the script to be validated at compile time and prevent reporting verify errors at runtime.
