examples of using build-classpath to create a launcher script

[Beyer,Nathan]

Are there any examples of using the dependency:build-classpath [1] to create a launcher script or something similar? Or should I be looking to another MOJO?

Say I have a windows bat file, I'd like to insert into it a line, something like the following.

set CLASSPATH="%~dp0MyApp-1.0.jar;%~dp0MapApp-Dependency-1.0.jar"

You might consider the appassembler plugin over at mojo.codehaus.org.

I have the Class-Path: entry in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF for MyApp-1.0.jar set.

using:
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
          <configuration>
            <archive>
              <manifestEntries>
                <Class-Path>config/</Class-Path>
              </manifestEntries>
              <manifest>
                <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
              </manifest>
            </archive>
          </configuration>

And then use the assembly plugin to ensure all dependencies are copied
into the lib/ directory.

Then you can do

  java -jar MyApp-1.0.jar

to run your app.

I also have scripts in src/main/scripts like "start.bar"
  java -jar ${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.jar start

which the assembly filters as they are copied into the assembly:
  <files>
    <file>
      <source>src/main/scripts/start.bat</source>
      <filtered>true</filtered>
    </file>
