reports, and calling flywheel from java

You may specify a report directory relative to your target directory, to help you analyze large scripts. View Flywheel reports on the templates used to create this site. Those reports were generated by specifying a reports relative directory, fwrpts, and an optional reportsHomeLink in the Flywheel builder, as shown in this excerpt from the com.panopset.web.build.StagePanopset.java class.

new Flywheel.Builder().file(tf) .reports("fwrpts").reportsHomeLink("Home", "../index.html") .tokens("|").targetDirectory(td).construct().exec();

The full source for the panopset project that created this web site is available in a jar file that you may download from the source page.
