# Java Scanner

The Java Scanner scans for java installations and running java processes on the current
host and creates a csv file with information about the JRE/JDK instances, that have been found.

The information helps to determine, if a license is required for the used version, due to the changed Oracle
license terms.

The java scanner is implemented in golang.

# compile

To compile, just execute

go build .

### getting command line help
To get help, run the application via _go_:

./java-scanner scan -h

Or run binary via:

./java-scanner scan --help

to print out the configuration options:

java-scanner scan [flags]

Flags:
-j, --append-to-findings-json append findings to findings.json file
-h, --help help for scan
-c, --scan-current-path Activate scanning of current path
-f, --scan-file-system Activate running processes scanning
-E, --scan-file-system-exclude-paths strings A list of paths, that should be excluded from the search
-R, --scan-file-system-root-paths strings A list of root paths, where the file system scan has to start (default [/usr/lib/jvm])
-a, --scan-linux-alternatives Activate linux-alternatives scanning
-p, --scan-running-processes Activate running processes scanning
-r, --scan-windows-registry Activate windows registry scanning

```

### searching running java processes
via:

./java-scanner scan -p

### searching via 'linux: alternatives list --java"
via

./java-scanner scan -a

### Searching in file system

**Executing search in default file system root path below _/usr/lib/jvm_**

./java-scanner scan -f

**Executing search in given file system root paths:**

By using flag _scan-file-system-root-paths_:

./java-scanner scan -f --scan-file-system-root-paths "/home/vagrant/.sdkman,/usr/lib/jvm"

Or by using shorthand notation:

./java-scanner scan -f -R "/home/vagrant/.sdkman,/usr/lib/jvm"

**Exclude directories from search**

By using flag _scan-file-system-exclude-paths_ / _-E_:

./java-scanner scan -f -R "/home/vagrant/" -E /home/vagrant/.sdkman/,/home/vagrant/.jdks/
