Jlink/jpackage UX isnt the best either. They mostly produce installers not a single binary that you can just run. Project Leyden has some interesting work around this called Hermetic Java which plans to ship one binary with the VM + jar together. It’s coming out of some folks at Google. I’m really looking forward to it.
- hiAndrewQuinn 2y agoReally now? Now that's interesting. I thought GraalVM might be a good option in that space https://www.graalvm.org/ https://www.graalvm.org/ last I checked, but something literally called Hermetic Java has my interest piqued.
- vips7L 2y agoGraalVM creates native AOT compiled binaries. The goal of hermetic is to ship the normal JVM. This is where is started a year ago: https://cr.openjdk.org/~jiangli/hermetic_java.pdf https://cr.openjdk.org/~jiangli/hermetic_java.pdf I’ve been mildly watching the mailing list and they’ve had small progress.
