> Can I please get a review for this patch which proposes to implement the > enhancement request noted in https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8173970? > > The commit in this PR introduces the `-o` and `--output-dir` option to the > `jar` command. The option takes a path to a destination directory as a value > and extracts the contents of the jar into that directory. This is an optional > option and the changes in the commit continue to maintain backward > compatibility where the jar is extracted into current directory, if no `-o` > or `--output-dir` option has been specified. > > As far as I know, there hasn't been any discussion on what the name of this > new option should be. I was initially thinking of using `-d` but that is > currently used by the `jar` command for a different purpose. So I decided to > use `-o` and `--output-dir`. This is of course open for change depending on > any suggestions in this PR. > > The commit in this PR also updates the `jar.properties` file which contains > the English version of the jar command's `--help` output. However, no changes > have been done to the internationalization files corresponding to this one > (for example: `jar_de.properties`), because I don't know what process needs > to be followed to have those files updated (if at all they need to be > updated). > > The commit also includes a jtreg testcase which verifies the usage of this > new option.
