The lists are comma separated. In addition, user can add prefixes
"+" or "-", to signal that those values should be removed from the
default list, not added to a fresh one. E.g.
$ spring jar app.jar --include lib/*.jar,-static/** --exclude -**/*.jar
to include a jar file specifically, and make sure it is not excluded,
and additionally not include the static/** resources that would otherwise
be included in the defaults. As soon as "+" or "-" prefixes are detected
the default entries are all added (except the ones exlcuded with "-").
Fixes gh-1090
Boot promotes the use of a templates directory for housing view
templates. Include this directory by default when building a jar file
from a CLI app.
Fixes#455
It turns out that loader.path=. was pathological and before this
change ended up making the classpath empty (loader.path=.,lib/
would have fixed it). With this change the old behaviour is still
supported, but if the only user-supplied path entry is "." (or
empty) then it is now kept, and translates into the root of the
current archive if running as "java -jar ...".
Fixes gh-270
A new command, jar, has been added to the CLI. The command can be
used to create a self-contained executable JAR file from a CLI app.
Basic usage is:
spring jar <jar-name> <source-files>
For example:
spring jar my-app.jar *.groovy
The resulting jar will contain the classes generated by compiling the
source files, all of the application's dependencies, and entries
on the application's classpath.
By default a CLI application has the current working directory on
its classpath. This can be overridden using the --classpath option.
Any file that is referenced directly by the classpath is always
included in the jar. Any file that is found a result of being
contained within a directory that is on the classpath is subject to
filtering to determine whether or not it should be included. The
default includes are public/**, static/**, resources/**,
META-INF/**, *. The default excludes are .*, repository/**, build/**,
target/**. To be included in the jar, a file must match one of the
includes and none of the excludes. The filters can be overridden using
the --include and --exclude options.
Closes#241
Use `maven-failsafe-plugin` to run CLI integration tests as part of
the `spring-boot-cli` project, removing the need for
`spring-boot-cli-integration-tests`.
