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.
