Getting started questions

Hi!

This is an open discussion for doubts people have when trying out bleep. I'll later process the information from here and merge it with the documentation on the next documentation pass.

Also feel free to start new topics if you suspect the answer is going to be long :)

How do I build just the .jar file ? (Not an executable .jar file with all the dependencies - just the jar file to use as a library.)

Thanks,

David

I could do beep jar. (You've already built all of it except the named command.) Where should I start in the code?

[dwalend]

(I'll also be doing an OS-independent ssh and scp if you want them - but those are part of a very specialized command.)

[oyvindberg]

make a new command in bleep-core/src/scala/bleep/commands and wire it up in bleep-cli/src/scala/bleep/Main.scala.

we could talk about ssh and scp if there is a need, I'm sure interesting things could be built in top of it

[dwalend]

Thanks! I'll see what I can do.

I'm building .jar files - as a plug-in. I get the guiding idea of making what you need, and agree that the world doesn't need to make .jars as a library without sharing them. (I need it, followed by scp, so the plugin makes sense.)

Is there a reason why buildDist doesn't make an executable .jar file (with all the dependencies baked in)?
