MG>which specific task do you want ant to implement? Make a jar using the regular ant jar task: With using a file selector that - start with the class file having the main function called to start the application - takes all the class it depends on, extract the corresponding class file from the jar archive (using the path to find the archive), add this extracted class file in the jar under construction - repeat this for the class that has been extracted
This is what genjar is doing (or PAR::Packer in perl) but it's a task in himself not a selector in the regular jar task, and it's very convenient to have these autonomous archive when you want to distribute an application.

The BCEL API abstracts from the concrete circumstances of the Java Virtual Machine and how to read and write binary Java class files. Is there examples of codes of these custom selectors ? Correcting the original genjar code proved to be < 50 lines changes Writing this selector from scratch is quiet harder for me François -----Original Message----- From: Dominique Devienne [mailto:ddevie...@gmail.com] Sent: 21 November 2017 15:18 To: Ant Users List <user@ant.apache.org> Subject: Re: GenJar On Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 11:19 AM, RAPPAZ Francois <francois.rap...@unifr.ch> wrote: > Things turned out well at the end... > > since I could contact the original maintainer of genjar on sourceforge > and I was able to update my changes there. > > Note that this tool had some descendants.

Maybe I underestimate how easy that is perhaps though... --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
