NAME

       jh_generateorbitdir - Creates and populates an orbit dir used by
       pde-build for third-party jar files.

SYNOPSIS

       jh_generateorbitdir [debhelperoptions] [--orbit-dir=dir]
       [orbit-dep[...]]

DESCRIPTION

       jh_generateorbitdir is a javahelper program that handles creation of an
       orbit dependency dir. This directory has to be populated with non-
       eclipse jar files. However, eclipse refers to these jars by their
       "symbolic name". jh_generateorbitdir can extract this name from the
       jar's manifest (provided it has the OSGi metadata) and create a symlink
       to it.

       jh_generateorbitdir will replace regular files with symlinks if they
       are present in the orbit dir and clash with the name of one of the
       orbit jars. If an orbit jar name clashes with a symlink in the orbit
       dir, then jh_generateorbitdir will assume that the given jar has
       already been symlinked correctly. In this case the jar file is still
       recorded in the cache (see below).

       jh_generateorbitdir will also check the default installation for jar
       files on Debian systems (at the time of writing /usr/share/java), if it
       cannot find the jar in the current dir.

       Jar files replaced by jh_generateorbitdir will be recorded so that
       jh_installeclipse can replace with symlinks them post install.

FILES

       debian/eclipse.orbitdeps
           List of orbit dependencies - one per line. This can be used as an
           alternative to passing it per command line.

OPTIONS

       --orbit-dir=dir
           Specifies the directory from where the orbit-dir is or should be
           created. Defauls to "debian/.eclipse_build/orbitdeps".

EXAMPLE

         jh_generateorbitdir --orbit-dir orbit asm3 oro

       Will generate a folder called orbit with two symlinks based on asm3 and
       oro's symbolic name.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of javahelper and uses debhelper as backend.
       There are also tutorials in /usr/share/doc/javahelper.
