This intended to close #3638. The `JlinkModule` creates a runtime image in two steps: 1. it creates a `jlink.jmod` file for the module containing the `mainClass` using the [`jmod`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/23/docs/specs/man/jmod.html) tool; 2. it then uses the [jlink](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/23/docs/specs/man/jlink.html) tool, to link the previously created `jlink.jmod` with a runtime image. The generated runtime image can be executed with: ```sh ./out/foo/jlinkAppImage.dest/jlink-runtime/bin/jlink ``` As for the `JpackageModule` implementation, I decided to reuse most of the `JpackageModule` code @lefou [linked](#3201) to the original issue. Of course his code completely avoids the `jmod` dance by using [`jpackage`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/23/docs/specs/man/jpackage.html) to create a native package/installer directly. `jpackage` supports up to 3 different package/installer outputs on macOS: ```sh jpackageType = "dmg" ./out/foo/jpackageAppImage.dest/image/foo-1.0.dmg jpackageType = "pkg" ./out/foo/jpackageAppImage.dest/image/foo-1.0.pkg jpackageType = "app-image" ./out/foo/jpackageAppImage.dest/image/foo.app ``` Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the slight difference between how the 2 traits are implemented. --------- Co-authored-by: Li Haoyi <haoyi.sg@gmail.com>

From the maintainer Li Haoyi: I'm putting a 500USD bounty on this issue, payable by bank transfer on a merged PR implementing this.
These are newer Java tools that we should have documented/tested golden paths to using. The examples should go in
example/javalib/modulewith/** Usage */tests and textual explanations of what the examples are doing and how they relate to the underlying tools and concepts (with links to the relevant upstream documentation pages)The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
