jpackager

[Thomas Vatter]

I first read on

https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/343

Then I was looking for the download and somewhere found the links

http://download2.gluonhq.com/jpackager/11/jdk.packager-linux.zip
http://download2.gluonhq.com/jpackager/11/jdk.packager-osx.zip
http://download2.gluonhq.com/jpackager/11/jdk.packager-windows.zip

Since I'm on windows with OpenJDK11 installed I downloaded

http://download2.gluonhq.com/jpackager/11/jdk.packager-windows.zip

and extracted it to the JDK bin directory.

Running it from the command line with the --version option gives

             > jpackager.exe --version
"c:\Programme\java\openjdk-11_28_windows-x64_bin\jdk-11\bin\java.exe" 
-Xmx512M --module-path 
"c:\Programme\java\openjdk-11_28_windows-x64_bin\jdk-11\bin"             
--add-opens jdk.jlink/jdk.tools.jlink.internal.packager=jdk.packager -m 
jdk.packager/jdk.packager.Main  "--version"jpackager version 11
