Talend Open Studio 8 - How to create single runnable jar?

[mr_burns]

Hi,

I am quite new to Talend Open Studio and need your help please.

A few weeks ago I created a simple job using TOS V7.x. I was able to create a single executable jar out of it, but unfortunately I do not know anymore how I could get there.

Now I have installed TOS 8.x and wanted to figure out how to create a single executable jar, but I did not succeed.

Did this procedure change from TOS 7.x to TOS 8.x?

What I did:

I created a simple 'HelloWorld' job with just one tMsgBox inside. Then I right clicked the job inside the 'Job designs' section and choose 'Build job'.

But for some reason I can only select a *.zip format - but I want to create a single jar where all dependent jar's are packed into one single jar as I did (somehow) in the past (using TOS 7.x).

What I am missing? Or has it changed from TOS 7.x to TOS 8.x and I cannot do it anymore?

Thanks for any help...

Hello,

Please have a look at below two articles, which will give you full details about both approaches.

@Xiaodi Shi​ , thanks but that does not really answer my question.

The 1st link you provided shows the way to create a *.zip file - what I don't want.

The 2nd link does not provide a way to create a single *.jar - it just says 'Export the job' - nothing more.

I know using TOS 7.x it was a few clicks to create a standalone jar with all depentent jars packed inside.

Then I could run this jar like this:

java -jar myjob.jar

Hello,

So far, the build types are Standalone Job(.zip file) and OSGI Bundle For ESB(.jar file) without exporting job as a runnable jar file option.

Building a Job as a standalone Job will help you to export the .bat and/or .sh files necessary to launch the built Job and then you are able to execute it(. bat file for window and .sh file for Linux) in cmd.
