I want to create a command line scaffolding utility for a java based test automation project, the way it happens with Rails or the play framework. I don't have much idea about how exactly rails or the play framework does that.
What I want to achieve is to basically:
Generate a set of standard folders with some generic .java files and
other framework utilities.
Add reference to all the required JAR
files in the project.
Create configuration files
I think this could simply be done by writing a shell script. But before going for one, I would like to know if there's any other better way to create such a utility. Any suggestions??

I'm aware of all the other questions about this topic, but I haven't found a good solution for my problem. Currently I am trying to use Java code in my C# project. I've already tried to convert the JAR files into .DLL files with IKVM, but this didn't work for me because the JAR files are to complicated to translate into C# because not every component, which were used in Java, can be found in C#. The normal call of the JAR file doesn't work for me either because I need to work with the class instances of the declared classes in the Java code.
Back to my question: Does anybody know how I could use Java code in my project? I've heard that it may be possible to implement Java code like it would be native, is that true? Note that I've to work with the class instances of the classes declared in the Java code.
I highly appreciate any kind of help, sheers!
Edit:
My work around would be that I include batch files, which are calling the JAR files. I will include these batch files into my C# Project and work with the batch files. This may be a even better approach for me because every input and output of the JAR files are done via XML files.
This kind of mixup are not generally a good approach. I think the .Net Framework is very mature and you can find everything you want to do your work.
I would suggest you the following approach :
You can wrap your Java library in a REST API and call it in your C# code. Your REST API can be hosted on an external server or use an embedded server or even a spring boot project.
You can read this post for more details.
I am trying to create an application for creating java web projects in a personalized, automated way, without maven, without IDE, but so far I have not seen anything on the internet that would suit me. Could someone guide me or tell me how I can do it?
I consider your question differently that you want to create an application which when run can automatically create web projects !! If that is correct you need to write set of programs which would make files necessary for your web project like generate java files, Jsp files, XML, properties etc depending on complexity of your web projects, also if customized with parameters it can make different kinds of projects. Then you will need to make war file which is going to be the final deploy-able component with these files. This is all that you would do manually through IDE and maven would be the jar files you would need if any. Let me know if you need any more help.
Please accept and like if you appreciate my gesture to help with my ideas n experience.
I'm trying to find the best way to create automated testing for functional/acceptance/regression testing for some java applications. All the applications work in this way:
They read a File from a given folder
They write a new file in another format with the content of the input file.
They send to database some of the information of processed files.
They wait until a new file is left in the input folder.
This is a cyclic application, it never stops.
New files/formats are added continuously and several of our libraries are shared by all the formats. Manual testing is taking more and more cost with each new format. All the files are plain text files but with different format in the way data is saved.
We need a way/tool that could help us to automated the functional/acceptance/regression tests (specially QA tests).
The question is: What tool/way of testing can be used for this?
I was thinking in something that can left files in the input folder and compare what the application creates in output folder with an expected file. I don´t know if this can be done easily with a tool or if we have to make all of this entirely.
I would use a generic functional test automation framework and use a set of libraries to read/parse/compare files. I am familiar with Robot Framework and there are some Python Libraries to read/compare files (some embedded in Robot itself, some elsewhere). That is very convenient and quite easy to use for QA Tests. Check out the demo project for a good start.
If you prefer to stick in the Java ecosystem, you might want to try Cucumber-jvm or JBehave.
I know how to create a jar file using Eclipse.
I was trying to create a share library so that I can avoid redundant source code. I have figured out that a jar should be :-
independent
should not make call to external class attributes(properties)/methods except the standard library imports.
The resources should be given as a parameter to jar file to perform a action.
Should work as a independent entity.
I tried to well organised my code in different packages also added MANIFEST.MF file.
This is first time I'm trying for data abstraction.
I would like to request suggestions/instructions as per the programmer point of view, what are the criteria that jar code should have ?
Is it good idea that my jar is or depend on another jar (viz java mail api jar) ?
Thanks in advance.
As you've tagged this with Android, I assume that Android is the intended use case.
The easiest way to share your code between several projects is probably to create a library project, this way you can keep the source code at hand too (less convenient to attach source to the jar every time you use it).
Mupdf documentation shows me how to use the library as an application and deploy it. However, I want to suck it into an existing java project and build my application on top of it. Can this be done? If so, how do I bring just the pieces needed, into my project?
Take a look at jMuPdf. I never used it, but it seems to be active.
Otherwise you will need to create Java Native Bindings (JNA or JNI).
