The Paketo Buildpack for Executable JAR is a Cloud Native Buildpack that contributes a Process Type for executable JARs.

Behavior

This buildpack will participate if any the following conditions are met:

<APPLICATION_ROOT>/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF contains a Main-Class entry
<APPLICATION_ROOT>/**/*.jar exists and that JAR has a /META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file which contains a Main-Class entry

When building a JVM application the buildpack will do the following:

Requests that a JRE be installed
If <APPLICATION_ROOT> contains an exploded JAR:
- It contributes <APPLICATION_ROOT> to build and runtime $CLASSPATH
- If <APPLICATION_ROOT>/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF Class-Path exists
- Contributes entries to build and runtime $CLASSPATH
Contributes executable-jar, task, and web process types

When participating in the build of a native image application the buildpack will:

If <APPLICATION_ROOT> contains an exploded JAR:
- Contributes <APPLICATION_ROOT> to build-time $CLASSPATH
- If <APPLICATION_ROOT>/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF Class-Path exists
- Contributes entries to build-time $CLASSPATH

When $BP_LIVE_RELOAD_ENABLE is true:

Environment Variable	Description
`$BP_LIVE_RELOAD_ENABLED`	Enable live process reloading. Defaults to false.
`$BP_EXECUTABLE_JAR_LOCATION`	An optional glob to specify the JAR used as an entrypoint. Defaults to "", which causes the buildpack to do a breadth-first search for the first executable JAR it finds.
