Playing with jpackage (JEP 392) 📎
jpackage command-line utility is based on the "legacy" javapackager and is useful
to create self-contained application bundles.
To create an application bundle for the following Java application:
package airhacks;
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("hello, jpackage");
}
}
perform:
jpackage --verbose --name javaaapp --input target --main-jar javaapp.jar --main-class airhacks.App
You can also skip the process of creating the installable bundle and only generate application image with the --type switch:
jpackage --verbose --name javaaapp --input target --main-jar javaapp.jar --main-class airhacks.App --type app-image
