bach - Java Shell Builder

Use Java source in jshell to build your modular project.

No need to be a maven to be able to use a build tool - forax/pro

Fast-forward to install-jdk.sh section.

simple usage

Download a copy of Bach.java to your project's root directory and put the following jshell script in file called build.jsh. Launch the build with jshell build.jsh.

/open Bach.java

new Bach().run("java", "--version")

/exit

make it executable

Want to call just ./build to launch the build?

Add the following pseudo-shebang as the first line to build.jsh:

//usr/bin/env jshell --show-version "$0" "$@"; exit $?

Don't forget to mark your build script executable, i.e. chmod u+x build.jsh. See bootstrap on-the-fly section below for an example.

bootstrap on-the-fly

Copy and paste the source of bootstrap.jsh to automatically download that latest revisions of Bach.java and Bach.jsh.

//usr/bin/env jshell --show-version "$0" "$@"; exit $?

/*
 * Open and load "Bach.java" and "Bach.jsh" into this jshell session.
 */
/open https://github.com/sormuras/bach/raw/master/src/bach/Bach.java
/open https://github.com/sormuras/bach/raw/master/src/bach/Bach.jsh

/*
 * Use it!
 */
java("--version")

/exit

How to set JAVA_HOME with install-jdk.sh

• Source install-jdk.sh into current shell to install latest OpenJDK and let it update JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables:

  • source ./install-jdk.sh Caveat: if an error happens during script execution the calling shell will terminate

• Provide target directory path to use as JAVA_HOME:

  • JAVA_HOME=~/jdk && ./install-jdk.sh --target $JAVA_HOME && PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

• Run install-jdk.sh in a sub-shell to install latest OpenJDK and emit the installation path to stdout:

  • JAVA_HOME=$(./install-jdk.sh --silent --emit-java-home)
  • JAVA_HOME=$(./install-jdk.sh --emit-java-home | tail --lines 1)
