JPro from Jars

This project helps you to use JPro, when you have only the Jars of your application.

This might be useful for those developer, who use their IDE directly, and don't want to convert their original project into a Maven or Gradle project.

How to use:

Step1

Put your Jars into the folder ./libs.

It can be either a single fat jar, or the jars of your application with it's libraries.

Step2

Change the main class in the file gradle.properties

Step3

On Mac/Linux, run the following command: ./gradlew jproRun.

On Windows, run the following command: ./gradlew.bat jproRun.

After some time, the browser should open automatically.

Additional Notes

• Take a look at our documentation, for further information.
• This project is based on HelloJPro
• Technically, this is a simple gradle project using JPro. You can configure this project, like any other JPro project.
• If you want to use multiple main classes, you can add the file src/main/resources/jpro.conf and add multiple main classes. Take a look at our documentation.
