junixsocket-demo-jpackagejlink
Example code to demonstrate how to use junixsocket with jlink and jpackage.
Definitions
jlink
jlink builds Java runtime images that are tailored towards a specific set of Java classes / modules.
jlink was introduced in Java 9.
jpackage
jpackage builds native installers for applications, utilizing optimized runtimes very much like jlink.
jpackage was introduced in Java 14.
The demo code
This demo simply runs a very simple selftest built into junixsocket-common.
It depends on junixsocket-core, which is a POM-only dependency that in turn references
junixsocket-common (the common junixsocket API) and junixsocket-native-common (the
native library images for common operating systems).
Build instructions
The main purpose of this Maven module is to demonstrate how to configure a project's pom.xml file
such that jlink/jpackage-compatible artifacts can be created.
By default, this demo does not create executable jlink/jpackage artifacts.
You have to invoke the mvn command with a given profile setting to enable them:
cd junixsocket-demo-jpackagejlink
mvn clean verify -Djpackage -Djlink
Omit either -Djpackage or -Djlink if desired.
See the junixsocket-demo-jpackagejlink POM file for how this is done.
Results
See junixsocket-demo-jpackagejlink/target/jpackage for the binary package result (the actual file
depends on your target platform).
See junixsocket-demo-jpackagejlink/target/jlink/image for the Java runtime optimized for the demo
code.
