JH_GENERATEORBITDIR(1) Javahelper JH_GENERATEORBITDIR(1)NAME
jh_generateorbitdir - Creates and populates an orbit dir used by pde-build for third-party jar files.
SYNOPSIS
jh_generateorbitdir [debhelperoptions] [--orbit-dir=dir] [orbit-dep[...]]
DESCRIPTION
jh_generateorbitdir is a javahelper program that handles creation of an orbit dependency dir. This directory has to be populated with non-
eclipse jar files. However, eclipse refers to these jars by their "symbolic name". jh_generateorbitdir can extract this name from the jar's
manifest (provided it has the OSGi metadata) and create a symlink to it.
jh_generateorbitdir will replace regular files with symlinks if they are present in the orbit dir and clash with the name of one of the
orbit jars. If an orbit jar name clashes with a symlink in the orbit dir, then jh_generateorbitdir will assume that the given jar has
already been symlinked correctly. In this case the jar file is still recorded in the cache (see below).
jh_generateorbitdir will also check the default installation for jar files on Debian systems (at the time of writing /usr/share/java), if
it cannot find the jar in the current dir.
Jar files replaced by jh_generateorbitdir will be recorded so that jh_installeclipse can replace with symlinks them post install.
FILES
debian/eclipse.orbitdeps
List of orbit dependencies - one per line. This can be used as an alternative to passing it per command line.
OPTIONS --orbit-dir=dir
Specifies the directory from where the orbit-dir is or should be created. Defauls to "debian/.eclipse_build/orbitdeps".
EXAMPLE
jh_generateorbitdir --orbit-dir orbit asm3 oro
Will generate a folder called orbit with two symlinks based on asm3 and oro's symbolic name.

This program is a part of javahelper and uses debhelper as backend. There are also tutorials in /usr/share/doc/javahelper.

MAVEN(1) User Commands MAVEN(1)NAME
Maven - Installs a jar into /usr/share/maven-repo.
SYNOPSIS
mh_installjar [option]... [pom] [jar] [link]...
DESCRIPTION
Installs the jar file in /usr/share/maven-repo, at the correct location for Maven. The jar is copied into the build directory. It can also
create additional links to the jar, usually located in /usr/share/java.
Where
[pom] is the location of the POM associated with the jar to install.
GroupId, artifactId and version will be extracted from this file.
[jar] is the path to the jar to install, usually located in the build
folder.
[link] is an additional link to the jar to install, usually there should
be a link to usr/share/java/$jar.jar and usr/share/java/$jar-$version.jar to comply with the Java packaging guidelines. Note that
there is no need to specify those particular links if the --java-lib option is used.
OPTIONS -h --help: show this text
-V --version: show the version
-p<package> --package=<package>: name of the Debian package which
will contain this jar file
-e<version>, --set-version=<version>: set the version for the jar,
do not use the version declared in the POM file.
-r<rules> --rules=<rules>: path to the file containing the
rules to apply when cleaning the POM. Optional, the default location is debian/maven.rules Maven rules are used here to extract the
groupId, artifactId and version from the POM file.
-l --java-lib: Optional, if given it will install the jar into
/usr/share/java to comply with the Debian Java specification. The jar will be installed as /usr/share/java/$name-$version.jar and a
versionless link /usr/share/java/$name.jar will point to it, as well as the links installed in /usr/share/maven-repo
-n<name> --usj-name=<name>: Optional, the name to use when installing the
library in /usr/share/java when --java-lib is used. Defaults to the artifact id found in the POM.
-j<version> --usj-version=<version>: Optional, the version to use when
installing the library in /usr/share/java when --java-lib is used. Defaults to the version found in the POM.
-s --no-usj-versionless: Optional, don't install the versionless link
in /usr/share/java. This flag is used only when the -l or --java-lib option is given.
-d<path> --dest-jar=<path>: Optional, the destination for the real jar.
The other places where the jar appears, in the repository or in the list of links, will be symlinks to this jar. Defaults to
/usr/share/java/$name-$version.jar if --java-lib is used, otherwise the jar is installed in the versioned path in the Maven reposi-
tory.
-c<classifier> --classifier=<classifier>: Optional, the classifier for
the jar. Empty by default.
-v --verbose: show more information while running
-n --no-act: don't actually do anything, just print the results
--skip-clean-pom: don't clean the pom, assume that a previous action ran
mh_cleanpom with the correct options. mh_cleanpom is run only to extract the groupId, artifactId and version of the jar
