B4J Question Combining Standalone Package folders 2 or more apps (bin, lib, conf, legal)

[MarcRB]

Hi,

When I build multiple B4J Windows .exe applications using Build Standalone Package, each app gets its own folders like bin, lib, conf, and legal.
Since many of these files are identical, I was wondering:
Is it safe to share or merge folders like lib, conf, and legal between multiple apps to avoid duplication?

Or can this lead to issues (for example with dependencies or configuration)?
What is the recommended approach for managing multiple standalone apps in a suite efficiently?

Best regards Marc

It is not trivial and I'm not sure that it is worth the effort.

JarCaller (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jarcaller-run-and-kill-b4j-jars.168284/#content) supports starting other programs from the host. With some creativity you can make the main app start other apps. You can also automate it with batch files that start the other app and then quit.

Thank you Erel,

This is a new and better way to handle this and share dependencies. Many thanks!
