listFiles

public static File[] listFiles(File dir)
                        throws IOException

A wrapper for File.listFiles(). This java.io API returns null when a dir is not a directory or for any I/O error. Instead of having null check everywhere File#listFiles() is used, we will add utility API to get around this problem. For the majority of cases where we prefer an IOException to be thrown.

Parameters:

Returns:

list of files or empty list

Throws:

IOException - for invalid directory or for a bad disk.

list

public static String[] list(File dir)
                     throws IOException

A wrapper for File.list(). This java.io API returns null when a dir is not a directory or for any I/O error. Instead of having null check everywhere File#list() is used, we will add utility API to get around this problem. For the majority of cases where we prefer an IOException to be thrown.

Parameters:

dir - directory for which listing should be performed

Returns:

list of file names or empty string list

Throws:

IOException - for invalid directory or for a bad disk.

createJarWithClassPath

public static String[] createJarWithClassPath(String inputClassPath,
                              Path pwd,
                              Map<String,String> callerEnv)
                                       throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

createJarWithClassPath

public static String[] createJarWithClassPath(String inputClassPath,
                              Path pwd,
                              Path targetDir,
                              Map<String,String> callerEnv)
                                       throws IOException

Create a jar file at the given path, containing a manifest with a classpath that references all specified entries. Some platforms may have an upper limit on command line length. For example, the maximum command line length on Windows is 8191 characters, but the length of the classpath may exceed this. To work around this limitation, use this method to create a small intermediate jar with a manifest that contains the full classpath. It returns the absolute path to the new jar, which the caller may set as the classpath for a new process. Environment variable evaluation is not supported within a jar manifest, so this method expands environment variables before inserting classpath entries to the manifest. The method parses environment variables according to platform-specific syntax (%VAR% on Windows, or $VAR otherwise). On Windows, environment variables are case-insensitive. For example, %VAR% and %var% evaluate to the same value. Specifying the classpath in a jar manifest does not support wildcards, so this method expands wildcards internally. Any classpath entry that ends with * is translated to all files at that path with extension .jar or .JAR.

Parameters:

inputClassPath - String input classpath to bundle into the jar manifest

pwd - Path to working directory to save jar

targetDir - path to where the jar execution will have its working dir

callerEnv - Map caller's environment variables to use for expansion

Returns:

String[] with absolute path to new jar in position 0 and unexpanded wild card entry path in position 1

Throws:

IOException - if there is an I/O error while writing the jar file

                FileSystem destFs)
