Java Main Class Container

The Java Main Class Container allows an application that provides a class with a main() method to be run. The application is executed with a command of the form:

./java/bin/java -cp . com.gopivotal.SampleClass

Command line arguments may optionally be configured.

Detection Criteria	Main-Class attribute set in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF or java_main_class set
Tags	java-main

Tags are printed to standard output by the buildpack detect script

Configuration

The container can be configured by modifying the config/main.yml file.

Name	Description
arguments	Optional command line arguments to be passed to the Java main class. The arguments are specified as a single YAML scalar in plain style or enclosed in single or double quotes.
java_main_class	The Java class name to run. Values containing whitespace are rejected with an error, but all others values appear without modification on the Java command line. If not specified, the Java Manifest value of Main-Class is used.
