extcheck - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
extcheck - jar conflict detection utility
SYNOPSIS
extcheck [
-verbose ]
[
-J option ]
targetfile.jar DESCRIPTION
The
extcheck utility checks a specified
jar file for title and
version conflicts with any extensions installed in the JDK
software.
Before installing an extension, you can use this utility
to see if the same or a more recent version of the extension is
already installed.
The
extcheck utility compares the Specification-title and
Specification-version headers in the manifest of
targetfile.jar file against the corresponding headers in all Jar files currently
installed in the extension directory.
(The extension directory is
jre/lib/ext by default.) The
extcheck utility compares version
numbers in the same way as the method
java.lang.Package.isCompatibleWith.
If no conflict is detected, the return code is 0.
If the manifest of any jar file in the extensions
directory has the same Specification-title and
the same or a newer Specification-version
number, a non-zero error code is returned. A
non-zero error code is also returned if
targetfile.jar does not have the Specification-title
or Specification-version attributes in its manifest.
