Zip of binary distribution of CLI

[eliocapelati]

In the release channel via github please make available the binary of CLI distribution under a zip. This release enable the opportunity that the jsonschema2pojo is installed via sdkman.

Oh, thanks for reporting this. It looks like the binary upload is no longer appearing in the way it should for the last few releases.

Is sdkman able to work with a .tar.gz?

We don't currently support tarballs because of discepencies between bsd and gnu tar. Sdkman expects a zip in a fairly standard SDK distribution format:

• zip contains a folder like jsonschem2pojo-${version}
• this in turn contains bin and lib folders for executables and jars respectively.

If you could publish such a zip on say BinTray (or wherever you like), we could easily integrate this into our platform.

Also, we can let you perform your own releases if you like, for more info, please see our vendors page.

Okay, so the failed uploads are just a coincidence :) GitHub has changed URL template for release uploads in a way that broke my release script, so the tars are missing from the last few versions. Thanks for helping me find that :D

I can easily add a .zip upload so that it will appear in the Download section here:

This would be a good time to review how the contents of the binary are structured anyway because there is stuff in there that is redundant IMO. I'll look to do this for the next release.

That sounds great, we would be happy to help you distribute your cool tool!

[eliocapelati]

Thanks a lot guys!! These two tools is helping a lot of JVM developers!!!

[joelittlejohn]

The changes have been made here and there is a release that delivers the binary you need (I think):

https://github.com/joelittlejohn/jsonschema2pojo/releases/tag/jsonschema2pojo-0.4.23

Let me know if there are any more changes required.

Just downloaded the binary and it's looking better. It still needs a bin folder containing the executables though. Shall we keep this issue open until we have confirmed that it's working as expected?
