jarsnap.py
==========

Make fat jars

jarsnap.py helps you create deployable executable JAR files by combining
libraries and your main program into a single archive.

Usage
-----

Its most basic usage is as follows:

    $ jarsnap -m Main myprog.jar lib1.jar lib2.jar

This creates a runnable JAR from the three JAR inputs with Main as the main
class. There are other options available as well. Use `jarsnap --help` for more
information.

The installation (see below) also provides a `jarsnap` module which has the
functions `make_fat_jar()` and `main()` which can be used when making other
user interfaces to jarsnap.py's functionality.

Installation
------------

jarsnap.py can be installed using the Python setuptools module. It must be
installed to automate the installation.

    # python3 setup.py install
