NAME
jh_manifest - Adds or/and modifies manifests for jars
SYNOPSIS
jh_manifest [debhelperoptions] [options] jar1 ... jarN jh_manifest
[debhelperoptions] [options]
DESCRIPTION
Javahelper tool to add or update manifests in a jar file. It can be
used in two modes. If passed jar files, it will only process these jar
files. Otherwise it will update all jar files in the packages it acts
on.
When processing a package, the debhelper(7) exclude option will make
jh_manifest ignore matching jar files.
FILES
debian/package.manifest (or debian/manifest)
This file consist of a list of jar files and values to add to their
manifests. Values in this file will take precedence over values in
the original manifest (and command line arguments over values in
this file).
It is allowed to list a link in this file instead of an actual jar
file, provided that the link can be resolved when jh_manifest
processes it.
If a jar file is listed here cannot be found, jh_manifest will
print a warning, unless the jar file has been excluded.
As of javahelper >= 0.32, you may add comments in this file. If the
line starts with a "#" it is completely ignored.
This file is ignored if jh_manifest is passed jar files via command
line.
OPTIONS
-c classpath, --classpath=classpath
Sets the Class-Path attribute of all processed jar files to
classpath.
If not passed, then the CLASSPATH environment variable will be used
in the given jar file do not have a Class-Path attribute.
-m class, --main=class
Sets the Main-Class attribute to class in all processed jar files.
-o options, --javaopts=options
Sets the Debian-Java-Parameters to options in all processed jar
files. This attribute is used by jarwrapper to start java with
extra options (e.g. to make more memory available).
-j /path/to/java/home, --java-home=/path/to/java/home
Sets the Debian-Java-Home attribute to /path/to/java/home in all
processed jars. This attribute is used by jarwrapper to determine
which JVM to use.
EXAMPLES
An example debian/manifest file:
# use the symlink so we do not have to update with the next upstream release.
usr/share/java/my.jar:
Class-Path: dep1.jar dep2.jar
Main-Class: some.awesome.Class
usr/share/java/dep2.jar:
Class-Path: dep1.jar
