NAME¶
jh_generateorbitdir - Creates and populates an orbit dir used by pde-build for
third-party jar files.
SYNOPSIS¶
jh_generateorbitdir [
debhelper options]
[
--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.
SEE ALSO¶
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of javahelper and uses debhelper as backend. There are
also tutorials in /usr/share/doc/javahelper.
