Jpackage

Creates platform installers with the jpackage tool.

You need JDK 16 or greater to use jpackage. You may configure the JDKs Maven Plugin or the JDKs Gradle Plugin to downloads JDKs.
You may either set the jlink property or the runtimeImages property but not both.

Environment

When not explicitly set, the value of the following properties may be resolved from an environment variable or a system property as shown in the table. The system property takes precedence over the environment variable.

System Property Environment Variable

active

jreleaser.assemble.jpackge.${name}.active
jreleaser.assemble.jpackge.active

JRELEASER_ASSEMBLE_JPACKAGE_${name}_ACTIVE
JRELEASER_ASSEMBLE_JPACKAGE_ACTIVE

Substitute ${name} for the value of the named instance.

Space (' '), underscore (_), and dash (-) will be replaced by dot (.) to separate tokens in the System property. Space (' '), dash (-), and dot (.) will be replaced by underscore (_) to separate tokens in the environment variable, such that:

${name} System Property Environment Variable

foobar

foobar

FOOBAR

fooBar

foobar

FOOBAR

foo bar

foo.bar

FOO_BAR

foo-bar

foo.bar

FOO_BAR

foo_bar

foo.bar

FOO_BAR

foo.bar

foo.bar

FOO_BAR

JDK

The path for jdk must exist in the file system. You may use the maven jdks-maven-plugin or gradle jdks-gradle-plugin to download a JDK distribution.

Templates

The default location for templates is:

src/jreleaser/assemblers/<distribution-name>/jpackage

Any additional files found in the template directories will be copied as is unless their filename ends with .tpl in which case Name Templates substitution will take place.

Skip Templates

You may skip any template files by defining a set of skip rules in the skipTemplates property. For example, you may use any of these expressions to skip a template named README.md.tpl:

  • README.md.tpl: matches the full template name

  • README.md: matches the transformed template name

  • README.*: matches using a regex

Additional Files

There are several ways to define additional files that may be handled by this assembler.

Templates

  • You may use Name Templates inside the files to be copied.

  • They retain directory structure that is, a template found at {templateDirectory}/foo.txt.tpl will be copied as foo.txt while a template such as {templateDirectory}/docs/bar.md.tpl will be copied to docs/bar.md.

FileSets

  • May use globs or regexes to define files to be included from a starting directory.

  • They retain directory structure.

  • May rename the target parent directory.

Files

  • May use globs or regexes to define files to be included from a starting directory.

  • They do not retain directory structure. Only filenames are copied.

Artifacts

  • They do not retain directory structure by default. An artifact with path set to bin/launcher.sh will be copied to launcher.sh.

  • May use the transform property to define the target path. An artifact with path set to bin/launcher.sh and transform set to bin/{{projectName}} will be copied to bin/app [assuming projectName resolves to app].

  • May use the platform property to filter files per matching platform. An artifact with platform set to windows-x86_64 will only be copied when the matching platform is compatible with windows-x86_64.

  • Artifacts without an explicit platform won’t be filtered.

Examples

you may have JReleaser assemble a runtime image via Jlink and consume it with this assembler. The following snippet shows how to configure a non-exported jlink assembly named app-jlink which is consumed by a jpackage assembly named app. This in turns creates a Native Package distribution named app.

project:
  version: '1.0.0'
  name: app
  description: Awesome App
  longDescription: Awesome App is awesome

  links:
    homepage: https://acme.com/app
  authors:
    - Duke
  license: Apache-2.0
  vendor: Kordamp
  java:
    mainClass: com.acme.Main
    groupId: com.acme
    artifactId: app
    version: 17
  inceptionYear: 2021

assemble:
  jlink:
    app-jlink:
      active: ALWAYS
      exported: false
      executable: app
      jdeps:
        multiRelease: 17
        ignoreMissingDeps: true
      copyJars: false
      mainJar:
        path: 'target/app-{{projectVersion}}.jar'
  jpackage:
    app:
      active: ALWAYS
      exported: true
      jlink: app-jlink
      linux:
        types: [rpm]
      osx:
        types: [dmg]
      windows:
        types: [exe]

This creates the following files when run on Linux, OSX, and Windows nodes using the following command:

$ jreleaser assemble
  • app-1.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

  • app-1.0.0.dmg

  • app-1.0.0.exe

Existing Runtime Image

If you have an existing runtime image that you’d like to reuse then configure it directly using the runtimeImage.path property. Assuming you have a suitable runtime image available at target/runtime-image then the following will create dmg and pkg files when run on OSX:

project:
  version: '1.0.0'
  name: app
  description: Awesome App
  longDescription: Awesome App is awesome

  links:
    homepage: https://acme.com/app
  authors:

  vendor: Kordamp
  java:
    mainClass: com.acme.Main
    groupId: com.acme
    artifactId: app
    version: 17
  inceptionYear: 2021

assemble:
  jpackage:
    app:
      active: ALWAYS
      exported: true
      runtimeImages:
        - path: path/to/runtime-image-osx
          platform: osx-x86_64
        - path: path/to/runtime-image-linux
          platform: linux-x86_64
        - path: path/to/runtime-image-windows
          platform: windows-x86_64
      mainJar:
        path: 'target/app-{{projectVersion}}.jar'
      linux:
        types: [rpm]
      osx:
        types: [dmg, pkg]
      windows:
        types: [exe]
$ jreleaser assemble
  • app-1.0.0.dmg

  • app-1.0.0.pkg
