fvarrui / JavaPackager

📦 Gradle/Maven plugin to package Java applications as native Windows, Mac OS X, or GNU/Linux executables and create installers for them.

JavaPackager

JavaPackager is a hybrid plugin for Maven and Gradle which provides an easy way to package Java applications in native Windows, Mac OS X or GNU/Linux executables, and generate installers for them.

SNAPSHOT version is not released to Maven Central, so you have to install it manually.

History

It was born while teaching to my students how to build and distribute their Java apps, and after seeing that a chain of several plugins was needed to achieve this task, I decided to develop a plugin 💍 to govern them all.

How to use this plugin

Package your app with Maven

Add the following plugin tag to your pom.xml:

<plugin&gt
    <groupId>io.github.fvarrui</groupId&gt
    <artifactId>javapackager</artifactId&gt
    <version>1.4.2</version&gt
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
