Using shell script to pass args to Java

I have a Java project with gradle. This project has a main method.

I know I can run the main method using ./gradlew run but I cannot pass args to the Java main method using this function

I want to create a single-word bash script like ./runMyCode that can accept args such as ./runMyCode hello.txt -f which will be eventually be passed to the java application.

However I am unable to do this. PLease help me...

Solution

  • You could build an executable jar with gradle. Then your runMyCode script would look like this:

    #!/bin/bash

java -jar my-code.jar "$@"

    And you can use as you wished: ./runMyCode hello.txt -f.
