Class JarDependenciesFinder

java.lang.Object

org.mdiutil.lang.JarDependenciesFinder

public class JarDependenciesFinder
extends Object

This class allows to get the array or list of Class-Path dependencies of one jar file or a list of jar files. The dependencies are retrieved from the jar file Manifest Class-Path property. Note that:

• The class tries not to include twice the same jar file in the result
• The resulting URLs are all absolute. Relative dependencies will be correctly handled

For example, for the following jar file Manifest, for the following Jar file: L:/my/JarFile.jar:

 Class-Path: myJar1.jar \
             myJar2.jar
 

The getJarDependencies(java.net.URL, boolean) will return the following URLs with include set to false:

• L:/my/myJar1.jar
• L:/my/myJar2.jar
