The meta-java layer provides two main classes to help with the integration of Java applications and libraries:

• The Java bbclass: This provides the default target directories and some auxiliary functions, namely:
  • oe_jarinstall: This installs and symlinks a JAR file
  • oe_makeclasspath: This generates a classpath string from JAR filenames
  • oe_java_simple_wrapper: This wraps your Java application in a shell script
• The Java-library bbclass: This inherits the Java bbclass and extends it to create and install JAR files
