#!/bin/bash
#
# patchjar - for quick patching jar files in a world of maven projects
#
# Usage: patchjar <jar-file> <destination> <dir> [<dir2> <dir3> ...]
#
# jar-file:      path to a jar file. you can use relative paths
# destination:   a local path or user@host:path
# dirs:          any directory with a maven pom.xml file
#
# Rationale: building uber-jars is time-consuming. Uber-jars are wonderful for
# deployment, but can sometimes feel like the slow down iteration cycles.
#
# patchjar runs "mvn compile" in each maven directory, then directly updates
# the jar via "jar uvf". Only the class files that changed are updated.
#
# Once all patches are applied, patchjar copies the jar file to the destination.
