I’m using javapackager to generate native installers for several services and GUI applications. I would be using it for some command line tools as well, but it doesn’t yet support “console” applications on Windows. I.e. you can’t make javapackager with javapackager. I’ve filed an issue for that

Hi Victor, To answer your query about how javapackager can be made better, packr ( https://github.com/libgdx/packr) and FPM ( https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm) are two great examples in this space. If we can pool together some of the features from both, it would certainly draw attention of

Hi Michael, We realized that the javapackger CLI JEP wasn't quite ready, and was out of scope for JDK 10 anyway, so we withdrew it in order to file a new JEP later. Related to this, we are soliciting input as to how people are using the javapackager (see Victor's question below). So we'd

Hi Victor, I can answer the last Q. It's for two products, one is Censum our GC Log analyser (Java swing desktop app, yes they still exist! ;p) and the second is a stand alone Java 'daemon' for our APM SaaS tool (illuminate). jlink and javapackager is a powerful combination for us, so thanks

Thanks Victor for you response and invite. I'll get back with details for your query. Just for your info, I was referring to javapackager in the context of Java 9 built artifacts. On Thu, 30 Nov 2017 09:28 Michael Hall, wrote: > > > On Nov 29, 2017, at 5:18 PM,

Hi, I am wondering why you can say that ".dmg and .msi packaging work very well" because there is this still open bug https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8179033 which keeps me from building DMG files on Java 9. Are you still using Java 8? Michael Am 29.11.17 um 12:48 schrieb Mani

Hi, Mani. Thanks for providing the feedback! We will consider adding more examples and more details in the docs as you proposed(there is an arg named jvmOptions but that's not mentioned in the table). Looks like there is a bug when you specify systemWide=true on the MacOSX in non-gui mode.
