I needed a single jar file that if you double clicked on it (be in Mac OS X or Windows) it will just launch my Clojure App.
No CLASSPATH or bash or anything, cross platform. I didn't found anything like these so I just made it (I know it's not difficult, let say this is for Newbie!) The archi is: - one App on directory: Let say Blop/ - inside one jar: Launcher.jar (double click to start) - and 2 directories: - clj/ : with your clojure sources, the entry point must be named: main.clj - jar/ : with your needed jar, including: clojure.jar Look for the "Launcher.jar" file in this Google group. Here is the source: (note: Inspired freely from clojure.lang.Script java class) ------------------------------------------------------------ import java.io.OutputStreamWriter; import java.io.IOException; import clojure.lang.RT; import clojure.lang.Compiler; public class Launcher { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { try { RT.processCommandLine(args); // must do that... Compiler.loadFile("clj/main.clj"); } finally { OutputStreamWriter w = (OutputStreamWriter) RT.OUT.get(); try { w.flush(); w.close(); } catch(IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } // try } // main } ------------------------------------------------------------ The Manifest must add: Main-Class: Launcher Class-Path: jar/clojure.jar ------------------------------------------------------------ As an example I zipped the "Ant" example from Rich Hickey (only made small modification at the end so that it start right away), with the lastest (20080916) Clojure.jar . Look for the "Ant_App.zip" file in this Google group. Am I re-inventing the wheel ?
