How can I make an installer for linux os?

[ghost]

I want to make a installer for linux os with this plugin .

But , how can I do this with this plugin ?

[siordache]

Execute

./gradlew jpackage

on your Linux machine.

I asked this question because , I have the following error when I execute this command ./gradlew jpackage in windows os.

P:\installation\badass-runtime-example-javafx-master>gradlew jpackage

Why this error comes?

How can I solve this error?

In the console message says dowload and install the wix then add to path .

But , when I install wix it comes like this

how can I solve this?

[siordache]

See the WiX Toolset documentation:

WiX supports both .NET 3.5 and 4.0 and later. WiX's MSBuild supports requires .NET 3.5, which is not installed by default on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 and later. To install the .NET 3.5 feature, go to Control Panel, open Programs and Features, and choose Turn Windows features on or off. In the list of features, choose .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) and then choose OK.

I successfully build the jpackage .

I want to add terms and conditions in installer .

How can I do this?

[siordache]

You can provide a license file as described here. Using the plugin, you need to add the --license-file option to installerOptions:

runtime {
    ...
    jpackage {
        ...
        installerOptions += ['--license-file', 'LICENSE.txt']
    }
}

How can I build a jpackage for linux os?

I asked this because, in gradle.build code it contains only for windows os

https://github.com/beryx-gist/badass-runtime-example-javafx/blob/master/build.gradle#L27

Will it work on linux?

Give a solution for this.

[siordache]

If you execute ./gradlew jpackage on a Linux machine, it will produce a package for Linux. The Windows-specific options you mentioned above are not necessary (and not even available) on Linux. That's why the code in build.gradle applies them only when you execute the build on Windows.

In conclusion, you don't need to make any changes to build.gradle. Just execute ./gradlew jpackage on a Linux system.

[siordache]

Try this: badass-runtime-example-javafx-master.zip

I made the following changes:

• moved sample.fxml from java to resources
• in sample.jfxml: replaced sample.Controller with org.example.hellofx.Controller

how to set the icon?

Main.java

package org.example.hellofx;

import javafx.application.Application;
 import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
 import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

 public class Main extends Application {

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception{
    Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("sample.fxml"));
    primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
    primaryStage.getIcons().add(new Image("ic_launcher.png"));
    primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 275));
    primaryStage.show();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
}
}

But , I have the this error

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid URL: Invalid URL or resource not found

How can I solve this errror?

[siordache]

You need to specify the path to your icon:

primaryStage.getIcons().add(new Image("org/example/hellofx/ic_launcher.png"));

[ghost]

I also have the same doubt.

[siordache]

I updated the project to configure a desktop icon. Note that each platform expects the icon in a different format (.ico for Windows, .png for Linux, .icns for macOS). You need to provide icon files in all these formats in the src/main/resources directory.

The resulting application installers are available here.
