I wish they would make it produce single statically linked file. Golang is so awesome in that regard. Should not be hard: embed JRE and append jar stuff into the end, write special classloader for this format and that's about it. Right now it produces directory similar to JRE itself, so makes little sense to me, nobody cares about directory size, but single file ergonomics is a real deal.

Additionally there is jpackage.

#15Looks useful. Btw, $MAIN-CLASS is a terrible name to be used in the examples, its idea was to resemble shell variables I guess, but they can't have minus sign inside. Few paragraphs below there is another example of multi-word token and this time done properly with underscores. This is bad, because readers might get the wrong impression that such syntax can be used for real variables. Also there's a chance for this a…

You can use jlink‘s output image as the input for jpackage: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/man/jpa...

You want GraalVM, OpenJ9 for that. Additionally there is jpackage.

GraalVM is very different league. It actually compiles Java application into native code, which takes enormous amount of RAM and processing time. Also it requires adapting application, because it's not a compliant JVM. What I mean is just packaging JVM and related jars into a single runnable artifact which is much simpler task.
As mentioned, there is jpackage.

That's intentional. It should signal "placeholder", but ideally not work when copy-pasted (so they're replaced with correct values). Bonus points for confusing LLMs.
