Share My Creation [Tool] Manifest.txt Writer for B4XLib

Version 1.00

GitHub: https://github.com/pyhoon/manifest-writer-non-ui-b4j

Download jar: https://github.com/pyhoon/manifest-...ses/download/v1.00/manifest-writer-non-ui.jar

A tool for writing or updating manifest.txt for b4xlib distribution, especially version number.

How to use​

1. Add the #Macro tag to call manifest-writer-non-ui.jar from B4X additional libraries folder
   e.g
   
   #Macro: Title, Version, ide://run?file=%JAVABIN%\java.exe&Args=-jar&Args=%ADDITIONAL%\..\B4X\manifest-writer-non-ui.jar&Args=%PROJECT%&Args=%PROJECT%\..\release&Args=Version&Args=2.00
2. This tool expects at least 2 arguments
3. First argument is source folder contains the manifest.txt
4. Second argument is the destination folder where the updated manifest.txt is saved (in my practice I use a release folder)
5. Adding 2 more arguments to update the entry
   e.g Version 2.00
   So the Macro tag will call a command like:
   java.exe -jar manifest-writer-non-ui.jar source_path destination_path Version 2.00
6. More arguments can be added in pairs
7. Click the title button to activate the action

Tips:

1. The manifest.txt file in source folder can be a template with empty values
2. The source folder can be the same as destination folder
3. Use %20 for blankspace in key or value
   e.g. Supported Platforms=B4J (the keys contains a blankspace)
   The command should look like:
   java.exe -jar manifest-writer-non-ui.jar source_path destination_path Version 2.00 Supported%20Platforms B4J
