Overview

PlatformJar: A platform jar package

Intent

Automates the installation of a jar to an application platform such as an appserver. This jar is meant to be treated as a library rather than a package that extracts itself at deployment time. Therefore this package gets deployed as is to the desired installation directory (installroot).

Problem

Often packages such as a jar library, need to be installed onto an existing software deployment. For example, a Tomcat server needs a jar to be deployed into its lib directory since this jar may not be part of the default installation. This package module solves this problem.
