Elsewhere in this thread (look at my other comments). jlink itself just outputs a directory tree. If you want the user to be able to double click an exe then there are several options but two are: 1. Use Gluon Native Image. This will AOT compile your Java code and statically link JavaFX to give you a genuine single EXE program, with no JVM, no JIT compilation, and fast startup. However your app needs to be native-image compatible and I don't know if every app turns into a single EXE. 2. Use (surprise) Conveyor, which will make an EXE that when opened downloads, installs and then immediately runs your app using a bundled JVM. If your app is already installed then it'll do an update check and then open it. And of course your app can be then invoked from the start menu. The latter isn't genuinely a single EXE of course but the UX is similar and it handles the common case of needing to update either your app, or your JVM, or both. |
