warp4j's Introduction

Warp4j

Turn JAR (java archive) into self-contained executable in a single command.

Features

downloads java runtimes automatically
makes runtimes optimized for your application
creates self-contained binaries for Linux, macOS and Windows using warp-packer
works on Linux, macOS and Windows (with Windows Subsystem for Linux)
supports cross "compilation"
does not require neither JDK nor JRE installed

TL;DR

Just put both warp4j and warp-packer somewhere in your PATH and run warp4j app.jar.

Install

Curl one-liner installs latest versions of both warp4j and warp-packer:

$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/guziks/warp4j/stable/install)"

This script will show missing dependencies (if there are any), they must be installed with your package manager.

See more install methods here.

Usage

$ ls
my-app.jar

$ warp4j my-app.jar
...
...

$ ls -1
my-app.jar

Usage: warp4j [options] <app.jar>

Turn JAR (java archive) into self-contained executable

Options:
  -j, --java-version   <version>
                       override JDK/JRE version
                       examples: "11", "11.0", "11.0.2", "11.0.2+9"
                       (default: 11)
  -o, --output         <directory>
                       override output directory;
                       this is relative to current PWD
                       (default: ./warped)
  --list               show available java releases;
                       takes into consideration other options:
                       "--java-version", "--no-optimize", "--jvm-impl";
                       the output may be used to specify concrete
                       "--java-version"
  --no-optimize        use JRE instead of optimized JDK;
                       by default jdeps and jlink are used to create
                       optimized JDK for the particular jar;
                       JRE is always used for java 8
  --pull               check if more recent JDK/JRE distro is available;
                       by default latest cached version that matches
                       "--java-version" is used
  --linux              create binary for Linux
  --macos              create binary for macOS
  --windows            create binary for Windows
                       if no targets are specified then binaries for
                       all targets are created
  --jvm-impl           jvm implementation: hotspot or openj9
                       (default: hotspot)
  --jvm-options        <options>
                       passed to java like this:
                       "java <options> -jar <jar file>";
                       use quotes when passing multiple options
                       example: '-Xms512m -Xmx1024m'
  -h, --help           show this message

Compatibility

Tested on the following operating systems:

Ubuntu 18.04
macOS Mojave
Windows Subsystem for Linux with Ubuntu 14.04

Cache Location

Downloaded runtimes and prepared bundles are here:

Linux: $HOME/.local/share/warp4j
macOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/warp4j

To override cache path, set WARP4J_CACHE environment variable.

warp4j's Issues

Fails on ktlint with shell script header

Processing https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint/releases/download/0.45.2/ktlint fails because it has a shell script before the zip file.

$ mv ktlint ktlint.jar
$ warp4j ktlint.jar
Error: File "ktlint.jar" is not a java archive

Install fails on macos
