Name

jlink

Synopsis

Builds a JAR or ZIP file, optionally merging contents of existing JAR and ZIP archives. When duplicate files exist, the first is accepted and subsequent entries are ignored. When merging archives, existing META-INF directories are ignored.

Attributes

addfiles (all, Path, *)

A list of files for addition to the archive. These are added as individual files, even if they are JAR or ZIP archives. Use the mergefiles attribute or nested element to merge contents of existing JAR or ZIP archives.

compress (all, boolean, N)

If true, compress the output. Defaults to false.

defaultexcludes (all, boolean, N)

Determines whether to use default excludes. Defaults to true.

excludes (all, String, N)

A comma-separated list of file patterns to exclude.

excludesfile (all, File, N)

The name of a file containing one exclude pattern per line.

includes (all, String, N)

A comma-separated list of file patterns to include.

includesfile (all, File, N)

A comma-separated list of file patterns to include.

mergefiles (all, Path, *)

A list of files for addition to the archive. Contents of .jar and .zip files are merged into the output archive, rather than added as JAR and ZIP files.

outfile (all, File, Y)

The target archive — for example, myproj.jar.

At least one of addfiles or mergefiles is required, or else the corresponding nested elements are.
