Hello All: I am able to build an uber jar called x.jar via a makefile. The steps are:
1)Build a manifest file with the necessary classpaths specified. Here is one I auto generate. I have simply shortened it for this example. The key bit is to have one space after the colon which terminates "Class-Path" and two spaces at the start of each classpath line. In the line "Main-Class: g.m.TheMain" there are two spaces between the colon and the letter g . Here is the manifest file, called manifest.mf, which I use on a gentoo machine: Class-Path: /home/b/jars/jetty/9.4.8.v20171121/jetty-continuation-9.4.8.v20171121.jar /home/b/jars/jetty/9.4.8.v20171121/jetty-server-9.4.8.v20171121.jar /home/b/jars/jetty/9.4.8.v20171121/jetty-http-9.4.8.v20171121.jar Main-Class: g.m.TheMain I auto generate this manifest file in the Makefile because my classpath has over twenty elements. The jar file statement for the executable jar is: jar cvfm x.jar ./manifest.mf -C g/m . Then to use the executable jar do: java -jar x.jar thanks, west suhanic On Tue, Mar 6, 2018 at 12:28 PM, Joakim Erdfelt <joa...@webtide.com> wrote: > Using makefile you'll have a lot of extra work to do with merging various > files for this executable jar (aka uber-jar). > > There are 2 example projects we maintain, but they use maven and the > various plugins that do the merging for us in a smart fashion. > > If you are working with ServletContextHandler, you can use a uber-jar. > > https://github.com/jetty-project/embedded-jetty-uber-jar > > This will merge everything that you use into a single executable jar for > yourself. > > If you are working with WebAppContext, you can use a live-war. > > https://github.com/jetty-project/embedded-jetty-live-war > > This produces a war file that, can itself, be executed (like an executable > jar). > This has the same merging concerns as above, but is structured differently > to allow the war file to operate safely. > > > Joakim Erdfelt / joa...@webtide.com > > On Tue, Mar 6, 2018 at 8:53 AM, west suhanic <west.suha...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hello All: >> >> I have a fully functioning embedded jetty application. >> I would now like to package it in an executable jar file. >> I do not use maven or ant.
