Executable shell script for jar

Question

I have jar, which must get 2 parameters from command line, I create the sh script (test.sh):

java -jar target/test-SNAPSHOT.jar $1 $2

If I make the script global, how can I pass the full path to the files in the parameters to the parameters of the jar.

If i understand you correctly, then you are interested in the absolute paths to your script parameters. So you could use realpath.

Script call:

test.sh $(realpath para1) $(realpath para2)

Or in your script:

java -jar target/test-SNAPSHOT.jar "$(realpath "$1")" "$(realpath "$2")"

Some more alternatives are discussed here.
