I've made a python script for starting my java applications out of a comfortable package with the contentLister.

You will need to install python (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12636) first. I need it for proper parsing of the xml manifest file. If someone makes a script doing this with bash or C please let me know.

• Download here: http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...tartjar.tar.gz
• Unpack it somwhere on your iliad, say to /usr/local/startjar/
• Add this to your er_settings.txt (be very careful..):
  

  [USER_APPLICATIONS]
  uaIDList=SHELL;BROWSER;IPDF;APABIMOBI;IMAGEVIEWER;SETUP;PROFILES;EBA;MOBIPOCKET;ARINC;SLIDESHOW;JAR
  [JAR]
  category=viewer
  arguments=<MANIFEST>
  exec=/usr/local/startjar/startjar.py
  xResourceName=intent
  channel=15
  extensions=jar
  
  ...
  
  [EXTENSION_INFO]
  ...
  jar=/usr/local/startjar/java.png

• Now to create a beautiful java package just create an empty folder, put there all your jar files and an icon if you like and create a manifest.xml like this:
  

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <package>
          <metadata>
                  <dc-metadata>
                          <Title>Title of your Application</Title>
                          <Description>Description of your Applikation</Description>
                          <Date>2007-01-01T00:00:00</Date>
                          <Format/>
                          <Identifier/>
                          <Language/>
                          <Type/>
                  </dc-metadata>
                  <y-metadata>
                          <startpage>just_one_of_your_jarfiles_to_keep_contentLister_happy.jar</startpage>
                          <image>your_own_icon_if_any.png</image>
                          <version>000</version>
                          <ItemSize>819200</ItemSize></y-metadata>
                  <jar>
                          <jarfile>your_jar_file.jar</jarfile>
                          <jarfile>another_jar_file.jar</jarfile>
                          <jarfile>/home/intent/irex.jar</jarfile>
                          <vm-argument>-v</vm-argument>
                          <vm-argument>-Dfoo.bar=foobar</vm-argument>
                          <startclass>my.package.name.MyApp</startclass>
                          <app-argument>first argument for your application</app-argument>
                          <app-argument>second argument for your application</app-argument>
                  </jar>
          </metadata>
  </package>

Hope you like it.
Feel free to improve!
