Method Detail

write

public static JarOutputStream write(OutputStream out,
                                    Manifest baseManifest,
                                    ArtifactProvider provider,
                                    Feature... features)
                             throws IOException

Create a feature model archive. The output stream will not be closed by this method. The caller must call ZipOutputStream.close() on the return output stream. The caller can add additional files through the return stream. However, the files should not be compressed (which is the default for the output stream). A feature model can be in different states: it might be a partial feature model, a complete feature model or an assembled feature model. This method takes the feature model as provided and only writes the listed bundles and artifacts of this feature model into the archive. In general, the best approach for sharing features is to archive complete features.

Parameters:

out - The output stream to write to

baseManifest - Optional base manifest used for creating the manifest.

provider - The artifact provider

features - The features model to archive

Returns:

The jar output stream.

Throws:

IOException - If anything goes wrong
