_CamAcqJ.jar was created using AutoJar.
AutoJargenerates
self-contained jars starting from a given list of classes. It
searches the bytecode recursively for referenced classes, extracts
the corresponding files from wherever they reside, and creates an
archive containing only the classes you really
need.
"Autojar helps creating jar files of minimal size
from different inputs like own classes, external archives etc. It
starts from a given class (e.g., an applet), recursively searches
the bytecode for references to other classes, extracts these
classes from the input archives, and copies them to the output. The
resulting archive will only contain the classes you really need.
Thus you can keep the size and loading time of applets low or make
applications independent of installed
libraries.
In a similar way, autojar can search directories
and archives for other resources (like image files), extract them
and copy them to the output.
Note that the program can't tell which classes
will be loaded dynamically (by Class.forName()). If you know these
classes in advance, you can simply provide them on the command
line. If you don't, however, autojar may be not
suitable."
For ImageJ Plugins...
Since ImageJ plugins are normally not directly
referred to by any compiled code, we need to indicate to AutoJar
what to include. One way to deal with this is to create a
'dummy' class that refers to (and thus 'exposes') the necessary
classes. I use a class called ClassExposer which contains
references to any classes that might be called. This class is
actually never instantiated, so it doesn't really matter what it
does, as long as it makes a reference to any classes that AutoJar
would not otherwise find.
public class ClassExposer
{
public ClassExposer()
{
try
{
(new edu.mbl.jif.ijplugins.CamAcqJ_()).run("")
edu.mbl.jif.camera.camacq.CamAcqTester.main(null);
edu.mbl.jif.camera.camacq.CamAcq.getInstance();
de.jppietsch.prefedit.PrefEdit.main(null);
new
com.l2fprod.common.propertysheet.PropertySheetPanel();
}
catch (BackingStoreException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
