# Warp4j
Turn JAR (java archive) into self-contained executable in a single command.
## Features
- downloads java runtimes automatically
- makes runtimes optimized for your application
- creates self-contained binaries for Linux, macOS and Windows using [warp-packer](https://github.com/dgiagio/warp)
- works on Linux, macOS and Windows (with Windows Subsystem for Linux)
- supports cross "compilation"
- does not require neither JDK nor JRE installed
## TL;DR
Just put both `warp4j` and `warp-packer` somewhere in your PATH and run `warp4j app.jar`.
## Install
Curl one-liner installs latest versions of both `warp4j` and `warp-packer`:
```
$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://git.kirby-link.dd-dns.de/public/warp4j/src/branch/feature/manual_and_auto_classpath_option/install)"
```
This script will show missing dependencies (if there are any), they must be installed with your package manager.
See more install methods [here](INSTALL.md).
## Usage
```
$ ls
my-app.jar
$ warp4j my-app.jar
...
...
...
$ ls -1
my-app.jar
warped
$ ls warped
my-app-linux-x64
my-app-linux-x64.tar.gz
my-app-macos-x64
my-app-macos-x64.tar.gz
my-app-windows-x64.exe
my-app-windows-x64.zip
```
See help:
```
$ wapr4j --help
Usage: warp4j [options] <app.jar>
Turn JAR (java archive) into self-contained executable
Options:
-j, --java-version <version>
override JDK/JRE version
examples: "11", "11.0", "11.0.2", "11.0.2+9"
(default: 11)
-cp, --class-path <classpath>
adds additional classpaths to the jdeps call
-o, --output <directory>
override output directory;
this is relative to current PWD
(default: ./warped)
--list show available java releases;
takes into consideration other options:
"--java-version", "--no-optimize", "--jvm-impl";
the output may be used to specify concrete
"--java-version"
--no-optimize use JRE instead of optimized JDK;
by default jdeps and jlink are used to create
optimized JDK for the particular jar;
JRE is always used for java 8
--pull check if more recent JDK/JRE distro is available;
by default latest cached version that matches
"--java-version" is used
--spring-boot extract from (Spring-Boot) jar the dependencies'
to get the classpath for jdeps call'
--linux create binary for Linux
--macos create binary for macOS
--windows create binary for Windows
if no targets are specified then binaries for
all targets are created
--jvm-impl jvm implementation: hotspot or openj9
(default: hotspot)
--jvm-options <options>
passed to java like this:
"java <options> -jar <jar file>";
use quotes when passing multiple options
example: '-Xms512m -Xmx1024m'
-h, --help show this message
```
## Compatibility
Tested on the following operating systems:
- Ubuntu 18.04
- macOS Mojave
- Windows Subsystem for Linux with Ubuntu 14.04
## Cache Location
Downloaded runtimes and prepared bundles are here:
- Linux: `$HOME/.local/share/warp4j`
- macOS: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/warp4j`
To override cache path, set `WARP4J_CACHE` environment variable.
