Description

Ideally there'd be one command ('appcds'?) that I can run on an Uber jar that extracts everything, runs the app to a .jsa file, and then prints out the command required to run the program from the .jsa file

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current way an uber jar is extracted and launched, along with how an appcds command could create a .jsa file. Define the command's inputs, generated archive, application run, and printed launch command; done means the complete flow works for an uber jar.
