[JGIT PATCH 7/8] Pack jgit into a portable single file command line utility
On UNIX (and even Cygwin) we can package the entire jgit library into a single JAR file and prefix that JAR with a shell script to start the JVM, passing in the script/JAR file as the only classpath. This trick works because the table of contents for the ZIP file is at the end of the stream, and the JVM tends to only do random access through that table when it looks up classes for loading.
A tiny shell script called make_jgit.sh compiles everything with the command line javac and packages it into the portable jgit shell script, making it possible to build and use jgit without touching either Eclipse or Maven.
Currently this is quite easy to implement as we have only one support library (JSch), but things may get more complicated if we add another JAR to our classpath.
With this I can install JGit into my personal account and make use of it on a daily basis from the command line:
./make_jgit.sh
mv jgit ~/bin
jgit push ...
