Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
jdeploy
- How do users open the application?
- How do you usually deploy Java Swing application in Windows machine, so that it can pass Microsoft Defender SmartScreen checking?
-
How do you package your Swing app?
See http://www.jdeploy.com/

How do I finish a JavaFX project?
You could try jdeploy as well.

Conveyor + AtlantaFX theme sampler case study
Why would someone use conveyor over https://www.jdeploy.com/

What does everyone use for GUI work?
Agree. For quite a while it was hard to deploy JavaFX applications but jpackage exists now. There are also tools out there which do everything for you :https://www.jdeploy.com/https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/1.0/

New tool for packaging JVM apps, an alternative to jpackage
How does it compare to jdeploy?
- Any ideas to convert my jar file / eclipse project to exe?
- JavaFX Browser (JavaSE local build) not loading
- Is is possible to ship Java app with Embedded JVM?

3 Ways to Package Your Java Project into a JAR for Deployment
jpackage is not the only tool for bundling Java. There is also warp-packer, an open-source tool to create self-contained binary applications from Node.js, .NET Core, and Java. warp-packer requires a similar workflow to Method 2, where you create your modified Java Runtime image and an executable script before bundling everything together into an executable.

Cross-platform, cross-compiled JavaFX desktop application
KeenWrite is my free, open-source, cross-platform desktop Markdown text editor developed using JavaFX. The installer script uses warp-packer to create installation-free self-extracting binaries for Windows and Linux.

The Decline and Fall of Java on the Desktop Part 1 (1999-2005)
My desktop text editor[1] is written using JavaFX and leans on Warp Packer[2] to create installer-free, multi-platform executable binaries (without jlink). A user contributed a new dark theme[3], which blends nicely with the desktop.
The JavaFX-based WebView (an HTML rendering component) is lauded, but has no direct API to control the scroll position and is itself a memory hog. Scrolling must be handled through JavaScript, and that indirection is as unwieldy as you can probably imagine. FlyingSaucer is a workable alternative to WebView, but comes with numerous technical issues that rear themselves when embedding a Swing widget inside a JavaFX application---as I discovered during development.
Were I to start from scratch, I would definitely seek out alternative cross-platform programming languages for desktop application development.

In support of single binary executable packages
"Java -- possible, but you'll need a startup script to just call java -jar some-tool.jar; (also not a good fit for short-lived tools, mainly due to startup times;)"
Two technologies to look at:
* Warp Packer -- https://github.com/dgiagio/warp/
* Liberica Native Image Kit -- https://bell-sw.com/pages/liberica-native-image-kit/
Warp Packer bundles my JavaFX desktop application, KeenWrite into single binary executable files:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite/releases/download/2.... (Linux)
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite/releases/download/2.... (Windows)
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite/releases/download/2....
The start-up time for the first launch of the .bin or .exe is slow because it unpacks to a user directory. Subsequent starts are fine enough, even when running from the command-line as a short-lived task. Here's the script that creates the self-contained executable files:
https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite/blob/master/installe...
To create a release for all three files, I run a single shell script from a build machine:
https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite/blob/master/release....
I could probably generate a binary for MacOS, but not enough people have asked.
