macOS Shell: Include all jar files in Java -cp argument

Just found a single line of a macOS shell to start a Java program which sets the classpath by including all jar files from a directory:

run.sh

java -cp "../bin/:../lib/*" $1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Execute it with

./run.sh Test
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Great read:

Is it Time to go Back to the Monolith?

History repeats itself. Everything old is new again and I’ve been around long enough to see ideas discarded, rediscovered and return triumphantly to overtake the fad. In recent years SQL has made a tremendous comeback from the dead. We love relational databases all over again. I think the Monolith will have its space odyssey moment again. Microservices and serverless are trends pushed by the cloud vendors, designed to sell us more cloud computing resources.

Microservices make very little sense financially for most use cases. Yes, they can ramp down. But when they scale up, they pay the costs in dividends. The increased observability costs alone line the pockets of the “big cloud” vendors.
