[Question] How to set the icon image? [jpackage]

[KenobySky]

Hi! This Gradle plugin is great and it really made my development easier and faster. Im just having one problem: I cant find a way to set the icon to the executable.

The JPackager mentions the --icon parameter, but the gradle plugin doesnt. Im new with Gradle so im finding this a bit confusing.

Would someone clarify? Thanks and this plugin should be in every javafx page.

You can set --icon with the imageOptions. For Windows this needs to be an ICO file.

It worked greatly! Thanks!

May I ask one additional question? Is it possible to change the msi installer default language? Im in Brazil and the current setup installation is in en-us. It might be a *problem for some users.

[DJViking]

WiX supports building localized installers through the use of language files that include localized strings. However I don't think this can be customized with jpackage. Definitely a needed improvement to jpackage. I can check with the team working on jpackage if it is planned to support localization.

[KenobySky]

I would love if you could do that. Should I close this issue? Its been solved. Your plugin is really amazing. I was using maven and was having many issues, plus the building time was longer.

Thanks a lot!

@DJViking Hi! I noticed this ticker regarding localization: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8232136

Hopefully they will implement it.

DJ, Might I ask you if theres anyway to request/add some kind of splash screen while the .exe loads when the user opens the program?

@KenobySky You may take a look at the badass-jlink-example-richtextfx application. It uses the badass-jlink-plugin, but the same approach should also work with the badass-runtime-plugin.
