description	Build Java 25+ projects with zb (Zero Dependencies Builder). Use when compiling, building, packaging, or running Java projects that have no external dependencies. Triggers on "build with zb", "zb build", "compile and package", "create executable JAR", or when a .zb configuration file is present in the project. Not for projects requiring Maven/Gradle dependency management.

zb - Zero Dependencies Builder

Build single-module Java 25+ projects into executable JARs without Maven or Gradle.

How to Build

Step 1: Check for zb.sh script

Search for a zb.sh wrapper script in this order — stop at the first match:

1. zb.sh in the project root
2. Glob for **/zb.sh within the project directory tree
3. Glob for **/zb.sh one level above the project (sibling projects)
4. Check ~/bin/zb.sh or ~/.local/bin/zb.sh

If zb.sh is found, skip to Step 3 (zb.sh) — the script handles jar location and execution internally.

If zb.sh is not found, continue to Step 2 to locate zb.jar manually.

Step 2: Find zb.jar (only if zb.sh not found)

Locate zb.jar in this order — stop at the first match:

1. zb.jar in the project root
2. Glob for **/zb.jar within the project directory tree
3. Glob for **/zb.jar one level above the project (sibling projects)
4. Check ~/bin/zb.jar or ~/.local/bin/zb.jar

If neither zb.sh nor zb.jar is found, tell the user to download from .
