SYNOPSIS

mh_installjar [\,option\/]... [\,pom\/] [\,jar\/] [\,link\/]...

DESCRIPTION

Installs the jar file in \,/usr/share/maven-repo\/, at the correct location for Maven. The jar is copied into the build directory. It can also create additional links to the jar, usually located in \,/usr/share/java\/.

Where

  • [pom] is the location of the POM associated with the jar to install.

  • GroupId, artifactId and version will be extracted from this file.

  • [jar] is the path to the jar to install, usually located in the build

  • folder.

  • [link] is an additional link to the jar to install, usually there should

  • be a link to usr/share/java/$jar.jar and usr/share/java/$jar-$version.jar to comply with the Java packaging guidelines. Note that there is no need to specify those particular links if the --java-lib option is used.

OPTIONS

-h --help: show this text -V --version: show the version -p<package> --package=<package>: name of the Debian package which

  • will contain this jar file -e<version>, --set-version=<version>: set the version for the jar,

  • do not use the version declared in the POM file. -r<rules> --rules=<rules>: path to the file containing the

  • rules to apply when cleaning the POM. Optional, the default location is debian/maven.rules Maven rules are used here to extract the groupId, artifactId and version from the POM file. -l --java-lib: Optional, if given it will install the jar into

  • \,/usr/share/java\/ to comply with the Debian Java specification. The jar will be installed as /usr/share/java/$name-$version.jar and a versionless link /usr/share/java/$name.jar will point to it, as well as the links installed in \,/usr/share/maven-repo\/ -n<name> --usj-name=<name>: Optional, the name to use when installing the

  • library in \,/usr/share/java\/ when --java-lib is used. Defaults to the artifact id found in the POM. -j<version> --usj-version=<version>: Optional, the version to use when

  • installing the library in \,/usr/share/java\/ when --java-lib is used. Defaults to the version found in the POM. -s --no-usj-versionless: Optional, don't install the versionless link

  • in \,/usr/share/java\/. This flag is used only when the -l or --java-lib option is given. -d<path> --dest-jar=<path>: Optional, the destination for the real jar.

  • The other places where the jar appears, in the repository or in the list of links, will be symlinks to this jar. Defaults to /usr/share/java/$name-$version.jar if --java-lib is used, otherwise the jar is installed in the versioned path in the Maven repository. -c<classifier> --classifier=<classifier>: Optional, the classifier for

  • the jar. Empty by default. -v --verbose: show more information while running -n --no-act: don't actually do anything, just print the results --skip-clean-pom: don't clean the pom, assume that a previous action ran
