JarCompare Notes

What is JarCompare?

JarCompare is a tool to compare 2 directories with JAR file content. This will analyze and list down only the changed JAR files for their source / binary compatibility. Additionally it will also list down the newly added and removed JAR(s). This tool internally uses https://lvc.github.io/japi-compliance-checker/

How to build the image

Go to DockerFile directory and type

docker build . -t org.jarcompare

How to run

• Create the workspace directory. (e.g. C:\workspace)
• Copy the directories which needs to be compared to workspace directory.

• Create a config.properties file in workspace directory and add the following properties

  v1.path=/workspace/compare/SP1/Client

  v2.path=/workspace/compare/SP2/Client

These paths should be relative to “/workspace” directory as we mount to workspace directory below. Once done, you can run the container as follows.

In here for “C:\workspace” please change with your respective workspace folder path.

docker run -v C:\workspace:/workspace org.jarcompare:latest

How to download Docker image from DockerHub

Instead of building this locally you can pull this docker image directly from DockerHub as well.

docker pull nilindra/org.jarcompare:latest    

How to run Docker image from DockerHub
