buildClientLibJars tool

For a Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application client application and or Thin application client application to be launched using Java Web Start (JWS), the properties files bundled in Application Client for WebSphere® Application Server must be installed in the Java Web Start. Use this tool to create those property JAR files. The Java Web Start client is used with platforms that support a web browser.

[IBM i]Java Web Start is not supported on WebSphere Application Server for IBM i.

The buildClientLibJars tool copies the JAR files from the Application Client for WebSphere Application Server installation and creates a properties.jar file, which contains the properties files from the Application Clients installation properties directory to a specified location. When this property is created, the tool uses the value of keystore, storepass, alias and storetype to sign all of the JAR files in the specified location.
Windows usage: buildClientLibJars.bat  [-help] [-verbose] destdir keystore storepass alias storetype  

Unix usage:    buildClientLibJars.sh  [-help] [-verbose] destdir keystore storepass alias storetype
where:
  • -help will display the message
  • -verbose will turn on verbose message
  • destdir will output the destination directory name
  • keystore is the key store file
  • storepass is the key store password
  • alias key is the alias name
  • storetype is the key store type
