B4J Question Is it possible to get the name of the current application in B4J console app

[Patrick Clark]

is it possible to get the name of the .jar that is currently being executed.

eg: form the command line I run

java -cp test.jar b4j.example.main

I would like to be able to get "test.jar" within code.

if I run

java -cp full.jar b4j.example.main

I would like to get "full.jar"

If i can get the "b4j.example" that I can set in the build options that would do.

Thanks

[SOLVED] Is there a way to read VM args passed to a jar from within the jar

I have a need to be able to log the VM args passed to a jar from within the running jar. Is there any way to do this? Thanks in anticipation...

The "java.class.path" item will have the name of the jar file.

If you have the JDK installed you can use jps.exe.
see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/share/jps.html

Sub Button1_Click
    xui.MsgboxAsync("Hello Process World!", "B4X")
    Dim shl As Shell
    shl.Initialize("shl", "jps.exe", Array As String("-l"))
    shl.Run(10000) 'set a timeout of 10 seconds
End Sub

Sub shl_ProcessCompleted (Success As Boolean, ExitCode As Int, StdOut As String, StdErr As String)
    If Success And ExitCode = 0 Then
        Log("Success")
        Log(StdOut)
    Else
        Log("Error: " & StdErr)
    End If
    
End Sub
