capsule-nextflow - packaging and development tool for JVM applications

capsule-nextflow jarFile

capsule-nextflow allows one to create capsules, which are single executable JARs containing everything an application needs to run in the form of embedded files or as declarative metadata.

It launches the application in the JAR file jarFile. This JAR file must contain the Capsule.class file, the JAR of the application to be run, and a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file mentioning Capsule as its Main-Class and Premain-Class, and the main class of the application to be run as its Application-Class. The minimal Manifest file would contain

        Manifest-Version: 1.0
        Main-Class: Capsule
        Premain-Class: Capsule
        Application-ID: test
        Application-Version: 1.0
        Application-Class: path.to.main.Class
where Application-ID and Application-Version fields are chosen by the user, and Application-Class is the main class of the application.
