Maven can also be used to build and manage projects written in C#, Ruby, Scala, and other languages. The Maven project is hosted by The Apache Software Foundation, where it was formerly part of the Jakarta Project. Maven addresses two aspects of building software: how software is built and its dependencies.
A Fileset is a managed, immutable representation of the filesystem and classpath that can be synchronized to disk at any point during the build. Like Leiningen, Boot supports resolving and publishing Maven dependencies using the Aether library. Boot also supports: In-process classloader isolation with pods; Shebang scripts
An executable Java program can be packaged in a JAR file, along with any libraries the program uses. Executable JAR files have the manifest specifying the entry point class with Main-Class: myPrograms.MyClass and an explicit Class-Path (and the -cp argument is ignored). Some operating systems can run these directly when clicked.
java -jar D:\myprogram\helloWorld.jar [app arguments] This automatically starts org.mypackage.HelloWorld specified in class Main-Class with the arguments. The user cannot replace this class name using the invocation java -jar. Class-Path describes the location of supportLib.jar relative to the location of the library helloWorld.jar.
A sample build.xml file is listed below for a simple Java "Hello, world" application. It defines four targets - clean, [15] clobber, compile and jar, each of which has an associated description. The jar target lists the compile target as a dependency. This tells Ant that before it can start the jar target it must first complete the compile target.
JAR hell – a form of dependency hell occurring in the Java Runtime Environment before build tools like Apache Maven solved this problem in 2004. [citation needed] RPM hell – a form of dependency hell occurring in the Red Hat distribution of Linux and other distributions that use RPM as a package manager. [11]
A WAR file may be digitally signed in the same way as a JAR file in order to allow others to determine where the source code came from. There are special files and directories within a WAR file: The /WEB-INF directory in the WAR file contains a file named web.xml which defines the structure of the web application. If the web application is only ...
Executable compression can be used to prevent direct disassembly, mask string literals and modify signatures. Although this does not eliminate the chance of reverse engineering, it can make the process more costly. A compressed executable requires less storage space in the file system, thus less time to transfer data from the file system into ...
