Description

The jar command is a general-purpose archiving and compression tool, based on ZIP and the ZLIB compression format. However, the jar command was designed mainly to package Java applets or applications into a single archive. When the components of an applet or application (files, images and sounds) are combined into a single archive, they can be downloaded by a Java agent (such as a browser) in a single HTTP transaction, rather than requiring a new connection for each piece. This dramatically improves download times. The jar command also compresses files, which further improves download time. The jar command also allows individual entries in a file to be signed by the applet author so that their origin can be authenticated. A JAR file can be used as a class path entry, whether or not it is compressed.

The syntax for the jar command resembles the syntax for the tar command. It has several operation modes, defined by one of the mandatory operation arguments. Other arguments are either options that modify the behavior of the operation, or operands required to perform the operation.

We had a scenario where we were using the JarLauncher of springboot but had to add additional jars to classpath.

i.e. we would launch the springboot app using the following command

Since springboot when using JarLaunhcer , ignores -classpath or -cp argument of java, our attempt to add a jar via -cp argument fails.

Solution as of now is to modify the pom.xml and change to Properties launcher i.e. change pom.xml as follows

But we DID NOT want to do the above.

We wanted to add a jar, without changing the pom.xml

i.e. continue using the JAR Launcher.

When we use the jar launcher i.e. run via the following command

Jar Launcher Minecraft

The solution is to go the old java way and provide the main class yourself:

Jar Launcher Update

i.e. the solution is

Jar Launcher Mac Big Sur
