Bash-wrapper-functions

Internal

• Projects Patterns

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 handling:

• Everything that is enclosed in double-quotes is passed as such to the java runtime as one argument - even if it includes spaces.
