A new command, jar, has been added to the CLI. The command can be
used to create a self-contained executable JAR file from a CLI app.
Basic usage is:
spring jar <jar-name> <source-files>
For example:
spring jar my-app.jar *.groovy
The resulting jar will contain the classes generated by compiling the
source files, all of the application's dependencies, and entries
on the application's classpath.
By default a CLI application has the current working directory on
its classpath. This can be overridden using the --classpath option.
Any file that is referenced directly by the classpath is always
included in the jar. Any file that is found a result of being
contained within a directory that is on the classpath is subject to
filtering to determine whether or not it should be included. The
default includes are public/**, static/**, resources/**,
META-INF/**, *. The default excludes are .*, repository/**, build/**,
target/**. To be included in the jar, a file must match one of the
includes and none of the excludes. The filters can be overridden using
the --include and --exclude options.
Closes#241
User can add (a single) beans{} DSL declaration (see GroovyBeanDefinitionReader
in Spring 4 for more detail) anywhere at the top level of an application source
file. It will be compiled to a closure and fed in to the application context
through a GroovyBeanDefinitionReader. Cool!
The example spring-boot-cli/samples/beans.groovy runs in an integration test
and passes (see SampleIntegrationTests).
