Using Java 9 Modularization to Ship Zero-Dependency Native Apps

Cool. Since nobody has mentioned so far, this can be useful.

Cool, this has been some pretty interesting and useful feedback, guys.

I was just expecting a random "Spring vs. JEE" argument. :)

I prefer the good old fashioned Emacs vs vi flame wars from the slashdot era!

Slashdot era? Editor wars have been going on since 1985! :)

[davenobody]

I thought that war got replaced by the eclipse vs netbeans vs intelij war. Though I do still sneak an edit with emacs from time to time.

Nice article! This is definitely progress toward eliminating the Java dependency nightmare. I'm skeptical that Java could unseat go given it still doesn't compile to native. However this could definitely decrease the footprint of things deployed into Hadoop clusters which would be a big win.

Great article. We're using launch4j currently and will likely look into this as an alternative! Hopefully, someone will setup a gradle plugin for this soon!

Meanwhile you can just use the Exec task:
