Always appreciated, especially making it visible to new users. I personally use Maven Wrapper as well as mvnd (via sdkman), and other package managers are available, too. For example asdf. Anyway, maybe we can cut the JDK requirement in the future. 😉 Have you heard of the plans? More on reddit.com

JLink builds your own jvm that only contains the modules your app needs. The resulting installer is way smaller. A jar file is a Java-ARchive with platform independent compiled class files. It's actually a zip with metadata like "what's the main-class". The 'traditional' way is to create an uber/fat.jar, that also contains your dependency-jars. The maven-shade pluging for example unzips all jars in the same folder and zips the folder again in the end. You then run 'java -jar myUber.jar' without any classpath arguments. That step alone break most of the beginners, 90% of posts here is about that. Since java11, javaFx is also a dependency, what makes it even more complicated is that it has platform-dependent naive libs too. So you'd need to create 3 win/mac/linux jars by adding classifiers e.g org.openjfx...win Anyway, this is outdated because you can't rely on java being installed on the client, let alone the right version. Even in earler day's you'd put a 140MB jvm into an installer. Did that with swing + InnoSetup >20 years ago. Now there is jpackage. It needs installer software to be installed on the system, which still is InnoSetup on windows (for setup.exe) and wix-toolset (for msi installers). So first jLink a small jvm, then jDeps in case you have a non-modular dependendy, and then jpackage. You can only create installers for the system you're on. No setup.exe when on a mac for example. Github actions can do that for you, their vm's come with the needed installer software ootb. https://github.com/dlemmermann/JPackageScriptFX There isn't really a "standard", afaik. https://docs.gluonhq.com/#_gluonfx_plugin_for_maven https://github.com/wiverson/maven-jpackage-template https://www.hydraulic.dev/index.html https://www.jdeploy.com/ https://jreleaser.org/ More on reddit.com
