Creating and building Burp Suite extention using Java command-line tools

Burp Suite allows you to easily write your own plugins, to perform complex and highly customized tasks within Burp. PortSwigger (the developer behind Burp Suite) created a series of blog posts wherein he explains what can be done with Burp Extensions. In his first blog post about the subject (see Writing your first Burp Suite extension) PortSwigger explains how you can build your own extension using an IDE. Some of us prefer however to not use a heavy IDE, but to compile the jar from the command-line. This article show how to use the javac and the jar command to create your Burp extension from the command-line.
