Hi,
Please review an update to the JAR “specification” (in the loose sense of the term):
- first, it has been moved from a closed repository into the idk repository (same shared location as the recently introduced serialisation specification) and converted to markdown:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/jdk9/JDK-8150681-jar-spec-markdown/webrev/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/jdk9/JDK-8150681-jar-spec-markdown/webrev/>
(This also includes a new attribute Launcher-Agent-Class, a Jigsaw related change to better support Java agents.)
For comparison, the HTML version online is here:
http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs/technotes/guides/jar/jar.html <http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs/technotes/guides/jar/jar.html>
- second i have added sections on multi-release JAR files:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/jdk9/JDK-8150681-jar-spec-markdown-with-mr-jar/webrev/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/jdk9/JDK-8150681-jar-spec-markdown-with-mr-jar/webrev/>
this is based against the first patch so the changes can be easily viewed.
I expect some further editing of this specification to add further links to module related stuff and tidy up existing links to tools etc.
Thanks,
Paul.
