Hi,
I find myself missing a way to execute groovy jars e.g: `groovy -jar
someapp.jar`. As a workaround i can do something like the following in
bash (error handling etc. omitted)
#!/usr/bin/env bash # takes a single parameter (the path to the jar file
to execute - it assumes the Main-Class attribute has been set) jarName="$1" mainClass=$(unzip -p"$jarName" "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" |grep 'Main-Class:' |awk '{ print $2 }' |tr -d'\r') java -cp $jarName:$GROOVY_HOME/lib/* $mainClass
But it would be nice to support this "natively" in groovy with `groovy -jar`
Has support for this been discussed before?
Best regards,
Per
