Usage: jpackage Sample usages: -------------- Generate an application package suitable for the host system: For a modular application: jpackage -n name -p modulePath -m moduleName/className For a non-modular application: jpackage -i inputDir -n name \ --main-class className --main-jar myJar.jar From a pre-built application image: jpackage -n name --app-image appImageDir Generate an application image: For a modular application: jpackage --type app-image -n name -p modulePath \ -m moduleName/className For a non-modular application: jpackage --type app-image -i inputDir -n name \ --main-class className --main-jar myJar.jar To provide your own options to jlink, run jlink separately: jlink --output appRuntimeImage -p modulePath \ --add-modules moduleName \ --no-header-files [...] jpackage --type app-image -n name \ -m moduleName/className --runtime-image appRuntimeImage Generate a Java runtime package: jpackage -n name --runtime-image Generic Options: @ Read options and/or mode from a file This option can be used multiple times. --type -t The type of package to create Valid values are: {"app-image", "deb", "rpm"} If this option is not specified a platform dependent default type will be created. --app-version Version of the application and/or package --copyright Copyright for the application --description Description of the application --dest -d Path where generated output file is placed (absolute path or relative to the current directory) Defaults to the current working directory. --help -h -? Print the usage text with a list and description of each valid option for the current platform to the output stream, and exit --icon Path of the icon of the application package (absolute path or relative to the current directory) --name -n Name of the application and/or package --temp Path of a new or empty directory used to create temporary files (absolute path or relative to the current directory) If specified, the temp dir will not be removed upon the task completion and must be removed manually. If not specified, a temporary directory will be created and removed upon the task completion. --vendor Vendor of the application --verbose Enables verbose output --version Print the product version to the output stream and exit. Options for creating the runtime image: --add-modules [,...] A comma (",") separated list of modules to add This module list, along with the main module (if specified) will be passed to jlink as the --add-module argument. If not specified, either just the main module (if --module is specified), or the default set of modules (if --main-jar is specified) are used. This option can be used multiple times. --jlink-options A space separated list of options to pass to jlink If not specified, defaults to "--strip-native-commands --strip-debug --no-man-pages --no-header-files". This option can be used multiple times. --module-path -p [:...] A : separated list of paths Each path is either a directory of modules or the path to a modular jar. (Each path is absolute or relative to the current directory.) This option can be used multiple times. --runtime-image Path of the predefined runtime image that will be copied into the application image (absolute path or relative to the current directory) If --runtime-image is not specified, jpackage will run jlink to create the runtime image using options: --strip-debug, --no-header-files, --no-man-pages, and --strip-native-commands. Options for creating the application image: --app-content [,...] A comma separated list of paths to files and/or directories to add to the application payload. This option can be used more than once. --input -i Path of the input directory that contains the files to be packaged (absolute path or relative to the current directory) All files in the input directory will be packaged into the application image. Options for creating the application launcher(s): --add-launcher = Name of launcher, and a path to a Properties file that contains a list of key, value pairs (absolute path or relative to the current directory) The keys "arguments", "description", "icon", "java-options", "launcher-as-service", "linux-shortcut", "main-class", "main-jar", and "module" can be used. These options are added to, or used to overwrite, the original command line options to build an additional alternative launcher. The main application launcher will be built from the command line options. Additional alternative launchers can be built using this option, and this option can be used multiple times to build multiple additional launchers. --arguments
Command line arguments to pass to the main class if no command line arguments are given to the launcher This option can be used multiple times. --java-options Options to pass to the Java runtime This option can be used multiple times. --main-class Qualified name of the application main class to execute This option can only be used if --main-jar is specified. --main-jar
The main JAR of the application; containing the main class (specified as a path relative to the input path) Either --module or --main-jar option can be specified but not both. --module -m [/
] The main module (and optionally main class) of the application This module must be located on the module path. When this option is specified, the main module will be linked in the Java runtime image. Either --module or --main-jar option can be specified but not both. Options for creating the application package: --about-url URL of the application's home page --app-image Location of the predefined application image that is used to build an installable package (absolute path or relative to the current directory) --file-associations [:...] Path to a Properties file that contains list of key, value pairs (absolute path or relative to the current directory) The keys "extension", "mime-type", "icon", and "description" can be used to describe the association. This option can be used multiple times. --install-dir Absolute path of the installation directory of the application --launcher-as-service Request to create an installer that will register the main application launcher as a background service-type application. --license-file Path to the license file (absolute path or relative to the current directory) --resource-dir Path to override jpackage resources Icons, template files, and other resources of jpackage can be over-ridden by adding replacement resources to this directory. (absolute path or relative to the current directory) --runtime-image Path of the predefined runtime image to install (absolute path or relative to the current directory) Option is required when creating a runtime package. Platform dependent options for creating the application package: --linux-app-category Group value of the RPM .spec file or Section value of DEB control file --linux-app-release Release value of the RPM .spec file or Debian revision value of the DEB control file --linux-deb-maintainer Maintainer for .deb package --linux-menu-group Menu group this application is placed in --linux-package-deps Required packages or capabilities for the application --linux-package-name Name for Linux package, defaults to the application name --linux-rpm-license-type Type of the license ("License: " of the RPM .spec) --linux-shortcut [] Creates a shortcut for the application.
