Bill Havanki commented on ACCUMULO-1494:
----------------------------------------
I have an implementation I'm testing out. It affects both bin/accumulo and the
Main class. Here are some features of what I have, which I should share with
those interested:
* All classpath additions are still done in the bin/accumulo script, before the
JVM starts. If the jar command is used, the JAR file itself is added to the
classpath. Dependencies of the JAR can still be specified with the -add option.
Also, the script looks for the Class-Path manifest entry in the JAR, and if it
finds it, it adds the dependencies listed there to the classpath as well.
* It is optional to specify the main class according to Sean's syntax. If it
isn't found, the code assumes that the string is the first argument, and looks
in the JAR manifest for a main class as an alternative. The consequence is that
the main class cannot take its own name as its first argument unless you
provide it explicitly.
* The loading of the JAR's main class is not currently restricted to looking
inside the JAR only, so you could name some Accumulo class, say, and it would
accept it. This seems harmless.
If any of the above concerns anyone, please let me know!

> Like the hadoop jar command, if the jar manifest defines a mainClass, it
> should use it. Otherwise, it should use the command line provided one.
