Example usage

java -jar MCU-FastPack-latest.jar --mc 1.6.4 --forge 9.11.1.965 --path /home/user/PackFiles --baseURL http://www.my-server.info/MCUPack --out MyPack.xml

This will scan the path /home/user/PackFiles.

If the local file is /home/user/PackFiles/mods/MyMod.jar the URL will be http://www.my-server.info/MCUPack/mods/MyMod.jar.

Folder handling rules

The following folders are ignored:
  bin
  resources
  saves
  screenshots
  stats
  texturepacks
  texturepacks-mp-cache
  assets
  resourcepacks
  
If the file is in the following folders, it will receive ModType Jar:
  instMods
  jar
  
If the file is in coremods, it will receive ModType Coremod

If the file is in config, it will be treated as a ConfigFile

If the file is in the following folders, it will receive ModType Library:
  lib
  libraries

If the file is in optional, it will have Required False

If the file is in client, it will be marked as Side CLIENT and Required False

If the file is in server, it will be marked as Side SERVER

Anywhere else (including optional) it will have Side BOTH and ModType Regular unless the filename ends with .litemod, in which case it will have ModType Litemod.

If a folder has a name that matches the Minecraft versioning scheme, mods in that folder will automatically generate the appropriate ModPath entries.

Known issues

bspkrsCore has started autodownloading for bspkrs mods.  The dropbox account bspkrs uses frequently gets locked out due to the popularity of his mods.  If you supply bspkrsCore to your users, you will need to manually add a <ModPath> entry for bspkrsCore like this:  <ModPath>mods/[1.7.10]bspkrsCore-universal-6.14.jar</ModPath>
The dependency loader will not detect bspkrsCore if it is named bspkrsCore.jar (as MCU would normally do)
