Option to enable relative paths to jarfiles in classpath entries #259

Closed rolfhub closed 2 years ago

rolfhub commented 2 years ago

We are currently facing the problem that the limit of the Windows command line length is reached when starting our app via getdown. Because getdown uses the absolute path entry for each jar file on the classpath the command gets very long. Maybe it would be possible to add an option to use relative paths instead.

I just found out that there already is an option to start via "java -jar" instead of "java -classpath" by specifying "class = manifest". This also avoids our problem with the command line limit on Windows.
