jar-copier

jar-copier is a Leiningen plugin to copy a jar from your dependencies into your resources. This is necessary in the case of Java agents for example, which have to be present as jars outside the uberjar.

Usage

In your project.clj, in the :plugins section, add:

To run this plug in, execute:

$ lein jar-copier

If you want the task to run automatically, which is recommended, add:

:prep-tasks ["javac" "compile" "jar-copier"]

and it'll be invoked every time you build your uberjar.

You need to configure the plug-in in your project.clj like this:

:jar-copier {:java-agents true
             :destination "resources/jars"}

:java-agents instruct this plug in to automatically copy any jars that are specified as Java agents. :destination specifies where to copy them to.

For example, from proclodo-spa-server-rendering:

(defproject proclodo-spa-server-rendering "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.7.0"]]
  :plugins [[jar-copier "0.1.0"]]
  :prep-tasks ["javac" "compile" "jar-copier"]
  :java-agents [[com.newrelic.agent.java/newrelic-agent "3.20.0"]]
  :jar-copier {:java-agents true
               :destination "resources/jars"})

To Do

This plug in only copies jars specified as java agents but there's potential for more. See: pupeno#1
