AW: jpackager

[Schnoor Jonas]

Notice the different naming: jpackage*r* vs. jpackage (without the trailing *r*).
The primary purpose of JPackage*r* seems to be to package JavaFX (read: GUI) applications and AFAIK is a backport by GluonHQ of an EA version of JPackage that probably did not yet have the --win-console option.

If you want to package a Windows console application you will have to use JPackage from JDK14 with the --win-console option.

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
