  • 3 Ways to Package Your Java Project into a JAR for Deployment
    1 project | dev.to | 7 May 2023
    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
    3 projects | /r/javahelp | 26 Oct 2022
    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)
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2 Mar 2022
    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.
