How to make .jar files?

[jaspersorrio]

I'm sorry but i have never done anything in java before.

I tried compiling however i was missing all the dependencies.

Doing google searches led me to download maven and/or java eclipse EE.

However, I can't start maven with mvn and java eclipse + M2E plugin is just so foreign to me.

Hopefully you can guide me by providing some more details on how i can install the missing dependencies so i can start compiling the .jar files.

Btw, can i convert files in parallel? I wanted to try this project because unoconv can't convert ppt to pdf in parallel.

Thanks for any help provided!

Hi

I've written a guide on how to compile my project and generate the JAR file. You can check it out in my wiki area.

I have not tried parallel conversion but in theory that should work if you modify my code to use multiple threads, one thread for each document. Alternatively, your parent program can call multiple instances of my converter app in the background.

If you are satisfied with my reply, just feel free to close this issue.

Also, jaspersorrio, you can use the jar without compiling it by downloading it from https://github.com/yeokm1/docs-to-pdf-converter/releases
