JPackage is not working

[u/juanestragon10]

I have this in a build script:

jar ^
    --create ^
    --file "%BUILD%\input\RocketTracker.jar" ^
    --manifest "%BUILD%\MANIFEST.MF" ^
    -C "%BUILD%\classes" .

jpackage ^
    --type app-image ^
    --name RocketTracker ^
    --input "%BUILD%\input" ^
    --main-jar RocketTracker.jar ^
    --main-class app.Main ^
    --module-path "%JAVAFX%\lib" ^
    --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.graphics,java.net.http ^
    --dest "%RELEASE%"

If I run the jar manually adding the modules in the VM it works, but if I run the .exe generated by jpackage it raise an exception:

Any idea how to fix it? the same code in bash works just fine and the path are checked already

Try using Liberica Full JDK without the —module-path and —add-modules JavaFX…

[u/juanestragon10 → u/idontlikegudeg]

What difference would it make? Isnt it just the same but instead of adding them manually they are added by Liberica?

[u/idontlikegudeg → u/juanestragon10]

JavaFX uses platform dependent native libraries. The errors you get seem to indicate that the platform independent JacaFX stubs got linked. Liberica does not contain these, so I think it might work.

[u/milchshakee]

Are you intending to use --type app-image for an exe? There is a --type exe, but maybe that doesn't matter here, maybe there is a fallback. Edit: Maybe that is the correct type, I don't use jpackage from the command line

If you use the JavaFX SDK, that one tries to locate the native libraries to load and fails here.

Usually for tasks like jlink and jpackage, the JavaFX .jmods are the right ones to use intead of jars as the native libraries get copied into the correct bin directory of the runtime image.

[u/juanestragon10 → u/milchshakee]

Yes, when I change type with exe it throws an error but it still generates an .exe with app-image, i will test with the jmods, it works in linux with the sdk but will try anyways, thx

[u/milchshakee → u/juanestragon10]

Also, you can try running it with -Dprism.verbose=true for additional info

[u/NaveenB2004]

Seems like something to do with the javafx.graphics module. Can you give more info about the matter? You said that it's working with Bash, which means on Linux? Then you cannot use the same JavaFX SDK to build it for Windows and vise versa.

[u/juanestragon10 → u/NaveenB2004]

Yes, it works in linux just fine, and yes, I downloaded the windows version, you can check more in this repo if you please: github.com/juanestragon/RocketTracker

[u/NaveenB2004 → u/juanestragon10]

The 'javafx.graphics' module uses platform-dependent native code under the abstraction layer provided for Java applications. So the module will fail at runtime because it cannot find the platform-dependent graphics pipelines, in your case.

The fix for JPackage: When using the tool, make sure you replace the JFX modules to match the host (ex: on Windows, use JFX SDK released for Widnows; on Linux, use JFX SDK released for Linux. etc.) Since the installer cannot be built without the native platform, this is the only feasible method I see.

Alternative approach: Use JLink. Then you can cross-compile for all the platforms without hopping hosts (will relate to JFX in next section). The drawback is that you will not get a direct executable, but a script file to run the application (no exe but a bat/sh). But it will not solve the host-dependent JFX problem. But...

Use Build System: Seems like you don't use a build system and are purely relying on handwritten scripts. If you switch to a project management tool like Maven, you may be able to mix the JLink and JFX dependencies to make it more convenient for the releases.
