Class ResourceMerger

java.lang.Object

org.dhatim.ResourceMerger

public class ResourceMerger
extends Object

ResourceMerger is able to merge java archives (jars) and in the process merge any text based resource files.

The primary use case for this class is when building the smooks-all.jar which consists of all the jars in the Smooks project. In Smooks there are a few types of resource files like 'content-handlers.inf', 'data-decoders.inf' that exist in mulitple jars. This works well when loading resources from the classpath as all jars will be searched and read. But when there is only a single jar then only one of the jars resource files will be in the merged jar and the others will be ignored.
