Overview
A project that offers common bash wrapper functionality in form of a single function file to be sourced in the main wrapper, and a main wrapper template ("application-shell-wrapper-template")
Functionality:
- Basic error/warn/debug functionality.
- Building a classpath based on the JAR content of a repository.
- Getting the Java binary based on a combination of command line options, the content of the JAVA_HOME environment variable, and the "java" binary available in path.
- "Light" version reporting functionality, which relies on the presence of the lib/VERSION file.
- Command line argument pre-processing:
- Single-quote enclosed arguments are not broken down but passed as such to the lower layer.
