Constructor Detail

### jlink

    public jlink()

Method Detail

### setOutfile

    public void setOutfile(java.lang.String outfile)

  The file that will be created by this instance of jlink.

  Parameters:
    `outfile` - the file to create.

### addMergeFile

    public void addMergeFile(java.lang.String fileToMerge)

  Adds a file to be merged into the output.

  Parameters:
    `fileToMerge` - the file to merge into the output.

### addAddFile

    public void addAddFile(java.lang.String fileToAdd)

  Adds a file to be added into the output.

  Parameters:
    `fileToAdd` - the file to add to the output.

### addMergeFiles

    public void addMergeFiles(java.lang.String[] filesToMerge)

  Adds several files to be merged into the output.

  Parameters:
    `filesToMerge` - an array of files to merge into the output.

### addAddFiles

    public void addAddFiles(java.lang.String[] filesToAdd)

  Adds several file to be added into the output.

  Parameters:
    `filesToAdd` - an array of files to add to the output.

### setCompression

    public void setCompression(boolean compress)

  Determines whether output will be compressed.

  Parameters:
    `compress` - if true use compression.

### link

    public void link()
              throws java.lang.Exception

  Performs the linking of files. Addfiles are added to the output as-is. For example, a jar file is added to the output as a jar file. However, mergefiles are first examined for their type. If it is a jar or zip file, the contents will be extracted from the mergefile and entered into the output. If a zip or jar file is encountered in a subdirectory it will be added, not merged. If a directory is encountered, it becomes the root entry of all the files below it. Thus, you can provide multiple, disjoint directories, as addfiles: they will all be added in a rational manner to outfile.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - on error.

### main

    public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

  The command line entry point for jlink.

  Parameters:
    `args` - an array of arguments
