Add all jars in lib directory to classpath

[rogue-one]

consider the below scenario,

A application that is distributed as a zip archive to end users has few provided dependencies. The end users are expected to provided these provided dependencies by dropping in all the provided dependencies jars in lib directory. It seems currently any new jars added to the lib directory is not automatically added to the classpath.

so basically we need a setting/flag in native packager to add all jars in the lib directory to the application classpath. so the following change should take place in the start-up script.

from:

java -cp /var/path/lib/libary1.jar:/var/path/lib/library2.jar... com.example.Main

to:

java -cp "/var/path/lib/*" com.example.Main

Hi,

Thanks for your detailed description. Native-packager already as support for wildcard classpath. You can achieve this by setting

scriptClasspath := Seq("*")

However we won't make this the default behaviour for a couple of reasons

• security. The application only adds things to the classpath it knows about.
• predictability. Your application will start with the same classpath order each time.
