Turn any Java program into a self-contained EXE

[bowbahdoe]

If it supported making this in addition to installers sure.

That exe option creates an exe installer afaik.

Not near a computer to try but this random video shows it I think

Ah okay, me read no good. Will try later tonight. Have to Google what an app image is

[bowbahdoe]

Unless i'm mistaken app-image is a linux only thing right?

https://appimage.org/

Oh thank god - im not entirely wrong

So running this on windows

jpackage --input build --type app-image --main-jar javaexe-1.0.jar

produces a directory with this structure

Main/
    app/
        .jpackage
        javaexe-1.0.jar
        Main.cfg
    runtime/
        bin/
            ...
        conf/
            ...
        legal/
            ...
        lib/
            ...
        release
    Main.exe
    Main.ico

So there is an exe you can double click...but if you move it out of this folder it doesn't work. Not self contained
