Capsule Versions Save

Bug Fixes

• #13 - Had to abandon Zip FS, b/c it doesn't support arbitrary file headers necessary for really executable capsules

New Features

• Custom capsules
• Modes
• Really executable capsules (just docs, really)

Under the Hood

• Refactored to use NIO2 and ZipFS for easy unit-testing
• Added a test harness (that uses Jimfs) and unit tests
• Supports concurrent dependency downloads (by different processes) via Takari Concurrent Local Repository
• Uses a file-lock when extracting the capsule to the app cache

New Features

• capsule.Jar is a simple API for editing JAR files in transit. It can be used by a web server serving capsules to edit the manifest or add entries (say, licenses etc.). This class will eventually move to a different package and be placed in a separate artifact.

Bug Fixes

• Capsule now returns the correct exit code in a non-interactive environment

• When resolving pom.xml dependencies, resolve only compile and runtime scopes
• Allow artifact descriptor format for embedded dependencies

Bug fixes:

• ea (early access) JRE versions not recognized
• Maven repositories in Repositories attribute ingnored

New Features

• Override Maven repository list with the CAPSULE_REPOS environment variable.
• Uses the Implementation-Version manifest attribute if Application-Version is not found.
• The JDK-Required attribute can specify that the capsule will (search and) run on a JDK installation.
• The $JAVA_HOME variable can be used in the manifest.
• -Dcapsule.version now also prints the application ID.
• Dcapsule.resolve resolves (downloads) all external dependencies without launching the app.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that prevented the capsule from launching if the JVM-Args attribute was set to an empty value.
• Capsule now builds without sonatype credentials set.

• Fixes a bug related to Java agent options

• Added Args attribute, which lists command line arguments that will be prepended to anything supplied on the command line.
• Support for native library dependencies

• Added the Application attribute, which can give the Maven coordinates of the application's main jar/capsule
• Changed the semantics of Min-Java-Version (see the user guide in the README)

First release!
