Can get the app to run with a bundled JRE.

[abcbarryn]

I am running: jar2app -r jre1.8.0_221.jre -n TechnicLauncher -d TechnicLauncher -i Icons.icns -b com.amobiledevice.TechnicLauncher TechnicLauncher.jar Where jre1.8.0_221.jre was extracted from jre-8u221-macosx-x64.tar.gz downloaded from Oracle. I have also tried: jar2app -r "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.2.jdk" -n TechnicLauncher -d TechnicLauncher -i Icons.icns -b com.amobiledevice.TechnicLauncher TechnicLauncher.jar Both produce the same error:

Running the command without the -r option works fine, but as soon as I try to bundle a java runtime it breaks.

[Lucina]

The issue appears to stem from two independent JavaAppLauncher issues: -Not being able to use JREs/JDKs that aren't packaged as /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines macOS packages (relevant comment) -Not being able to use JREs/JDKs above 1.8 relevant comment from another repo You'll either need to find some stub that somehow supports bundled JREs/JDKs as provided from Oracle or supports JREs/JDKs above 1.8, or install the JavaVirtualMachines variant of the 1.8 JRE or JDK universalJavaApplicationStub seems interesting.

One of the JVMs I tried was jre1.8.0_221.jre which appeared to have the correct directory structure.

Might have luck building this fork of appbundler and using the resultant JavaAppLauncher binary. Still needs the old Apple format but source looks like there's support for 9+.

[abcbarryn]

Where are the build instructions for that code?

[Lucina]

It's designed to be built with ant.

[abcbarryn]

Ok, I built it’s test-plugin, but it failed to run:

$ ant test-plugin Buildfile: /Users/barryn/Downloads/appbundler-master/build.xml

compile:

@abcbarryn Were you ever able to get your program to work? I am running into the same issue. I want to use a custom jre but keep getting unable to load runtime environment

[abcbarryn]

I used this shell script from hell and bundled the jre manually...

I made this shell script, Not sure if it would work for your needs but it fixed most of my problems

The only problem is the .framework files get messed up. I have to manually add the RBA_SDK framework into my app. otherwise it works as expected
