For Java generation

You must specify either genProject or genDirectory, but an error results if you specify both. Also, specify genProject if you generate code for iSeries.

If you are generating from the EGL SDK, the following rules apply:

• You must specify genDirectory

• An error results if you specify genProject

• You cannot generate Java code for iSeries
