        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
