B4J Code Snippet Rename result.jar using #Macro or #CustomBuildAction

Method 1: rename existing jar

#Macro: Title, Rename, ide://run?file=%COMSPEC%&Args=/c&Args=ren&Args=result.jar&Args=libget-non-ui.jar

You can also check if the file exists before rename
or you will get an error "The system cannot find the file specified." (Exit code 1)

#Macro: Title, Rename, ide://run?file=%COMSPEC%&Args=/c&Args=IF+EXIST+result.jar&Args=ren&Args=result.jar&Args=libget-non-ui.jar

Method 2: keep result.jar but copy to Additional Libraries folder

#CustomBuildAction: 2, %COMSPEC%, /c copy result.jar %ADDITIONAL%\..\B4X\libget-non-ui.jar

Method 3: build the jar without running

#Macro: Title, Build only, ide://run?File=%B4X%\B4JBuilder.exe&Args=-Task%3DBuild&Args=-BaseFolder%3D..&Args=-Output%3Dlibget_non_ui

Note: dash or hyphen in the output filename resulted the filename back to result.jar
