Helloworld in Java

This repository shows how to configure GitHub Actions and JReleaser to:

• compile a helloworld app with bundled Java Runtimes using jlink & jpackage for:

  • linux-x86_64 as RPM & DEB

  • osx-x86_64 as PKG

  • osx-aarch_64 as PKG

  • windows-x86_64 as MSI

• assemble distributions with JReleaser

• create rolling early-access releases with JReleaser on every push to main branch

❗	JReleaser requires 2 additional inputs that may be set as environment variables, JRELEASER_PROJECT_VERSION and JRELEASER_GITHUB_TOKEN. More information about environment variable configuration may be found in the guide.

There are two modes for packaging this application: classpath & modulepath.

classpath

1. ./mvnw verify

2. ./mvnw -Pjdks

3. jreleaser assemble

modulepath

1. ./mvnw verify

2. ./mvnw -Pjdks

3. jreleaser assemble --config-file jreleaser-modules.yml

In both cases the assembled archive is placed at out/jreleaser/assemble/helloworld/jpackage.
