v0.98.0

[maxandersen]

New feature release!

MANIFEST

New //MANIFEST keyword to allow writing entries to META-INF/manifest.mf including supporting build time variables:

//MANIFEST version=${version:unknown}

will result in version=unknown by default and version=1.2 if built using jbang -Dversion=1.2 yourapp.java.

build.jbang (preview)

using jbang to building project is easy; what if you also want to run tests or other build related tasks. For that jbang are hitting its limits but we think there might be a few things we can do without forcing users to use maven/gradle/etc builds.

In this version we enabled build.jbang to be picked up and read the commands from that external file. We will evolve/change that format but at least you can try out jbang without having a single // directive in any of your .java files.
