public Class JlinkTask

extends MatchingTask
Class Inheritance
Imports
java.io.File, org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException, .Project, org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.MatchingTask, org.apache.tools.ant.types.Path
This task defines objects that can link together various jar and zip files. It is not related to the jlink tool present in Java 9 and later; for that, see org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.modules.Link.

It is basically a wrapper for the jlink code written originally by Patrick Beard. The classes org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.jlink.Jlink and org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.jlink.ClassNameReader support this class.

For example:

<jlink compress="false" outfile="out.jar"/>
  <mergefiles>
    <pathelement path="${build.dir}/mergefoo.jar"/>
    <pathelement path="${build.dir}/mergebar.jar"/>
  </mergefiles>
  <addfiles>
    <pathelement path="${build.dir}/mac.jar"/>
    <pathelement path="${build.dir}/pc.zip"/>
  </addfiles>
</jlink>
