After doing some research you can package an exe within a jar file but you have to extract the exe each run of the application. Following TofuBear's example here I was able to encapsulate adb within a jar file. You'll need to include the AdbWinApi.dll (or equivalent linux libraries).
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.Closeable;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStream;

import java.security.CodeSource;
import java.security.ProtectionDomain;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipException;
import java.util.zip.ZipFile;
public class Sandbox
{
public static void main(final String[] args)
throws URISyntaxException,
ZipException,
IOException
{
final URI uri;
final URI exe;
uri = getJarURI();
// Extract the adb application
exe = getFile(uri, "adb.exe");
// Extract the AdbWinApi dll file.
getFile(uri, "AdbWinApi.dll");
System.out.println(exe);
}
private static URI getJarURI()
throws URISyntaxException
{
final ProtectionDomain domain;
final CodeSource source;
final URL url;
final URI uri;
domain = Sandbox.class.getProtectionDomain();
source = domain.getCodeSource();
url = source.getLocation();
uri = url.toURI();
return (uri);
}
private static URI getFile(final URI where,
final String fileName)
throws ZipException,
IOException
{
final File location;
final URI fileURI;
location = new File(where);
// not in a JAR, just return the path on disk
if(location.isDirectory())
{
fileURI = URI.create(where.toString() + fileName);
}
else
{
final ZipFile zipFile;
zipFile = new ZipFile(location);
try
{
fileURI = extract(zipFile, fileName);
}
finally
{
zipFile.close();
}
}
return (fileURI);
}
private static URI extract(final ZipFile zipFile,
final String fileName)
throws IOException
{
final File tempFile;
final ZipEntry entry;
final InputStream zipStream;
OutputStream fileStream;
//tempFile = File.createTempFile(fileName, Long.toString(System.currentTimeMillis()));
tempFile = new File(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") + File.separator + fileName);
tempFile.deleteOnExit();
entry = zipFile.getEntry(fileName);
if(entry == null)
{
throw new FileNotFoundException("cannot find file: " + fileName + " in archive: " + zipFile.getName());
}
zipStream = zipFile.getInputStream(entry);
fileStream = null;
try
{
final byte[] buf;
int i;
fileStream = new FileOutputStream(tempFile);
buf = new byte[1024];
i = 0;
while((i = zipStream.read(buf)) != -1)
{
fileStream.write(buf, 0, i);
}
}
finally
{
close(zipStream);
close(fileStream);
}
return (tempFile.toURI());
}
private static void close(final Closeable stream)
{
if(stream != null)
{
try
{
stream.close();
}
catch(final IOException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
I had to change the file creation from TofuBear's example so that the file name of the exe would not be changed. It's still created in the temporary folder and will be deleted on exit. I left the original code as a comment.
Edit: Seems I got so caught up with the technical possiblity of it I forgot the legal ramifications. It's been stated here by Chris Stratton that the SDK Terms of Service prohibits redistribution of any part of the sdk. Which would include adb.
