How to run command line on MacOS

Help
1

With JabRef 4 I was able to run the command line tool with
java -jar /Applications/JabRef.app/Contents/java/app/JabRef-4.3.1.jar
I’m not finding an equivalent jar file in the 5.x package. Any pointers? Thanks!

Hi,

since JabRef 5.0 we bundle our own jdk and so the path has changed:

/Applications/JabRef.app/Contents/MacOS/JabRef --debug

I will update the docs for https://docs.jabref.org/advanced/commandline
