Maven deployment plugin for JavaFX
Hi,
Does anyone know, if Maven has a plugin deployment for JavaFX application that will render a self-contained installable package for a given (or all) platform(s) (i.e. Windows - 64 bit, Linux or Mac OS)? I rather use a plugin and have the IDE do most of the work than using the Java Jpackage tool and do all the work myself.
Thanks

The items found in nbactions.xml are not generally used as part of the
build. They are associated with IDE action, like the run/debug buttons;
or speicific actions not part of the maven phases. Tye
ProjectWin>ProjNode>RunMaven And you can also take a look at
ProjectWin>ProjNode>Properties>Actions; the stuff in bold under actions
is usually from the nbactions.xml.
Anyway, for jlink
1. edit pom.xml and add the property, using your main class name
<javafx.mainClass>org.mystuff.App</javafx.mainClass>
2. ProjWin>MyProj>RunMaven>jlink
3. cd <projdir>/target/image/bin
4. ./java org.mystuff.App
This should run your app. You can take a look at the docs for the
javafx-maven-plugin for more info.

** Is jlink of any use here? The projects created with "NewProject >

I noticed the "NewProject> FXML JavaFX...>", also have jlink action defined in the nbactions.xml as follow:
<action>
<actionName>CUSTOM-jlink</actionName>
<displayName>jlink</displayName>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
<!-- compile not needed with javafx-maven-plugin v0.0.5 -->
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>javafx:jlink</goal>
</goals>
</action>
In addition, it has jar packaging clause:
<action>
<actionName>run</actionName>
<packagings>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
</packagings>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
<goal>javafx:run</goal>
</goals>
</action>
However, I am not sure, if these goals and actions are actually being processed during the build since I don't see any jar file under target/classes tree structure. Any idea?
Thanks

Hi David,
Hope this helps with the packaging. I have cut this out of one of my

</build>
The /maven-dependency-plugin/ is used to copy all the dependencies into
the 'libs' directory.
The /maven-jar-plugin/ is used to add the classpathPrefix: 'libs/' to
the manifest. The forward slash at the end is required.
The /exec-maven-plugin/ is used to package everything into a 'zip'
archive for release. Just unpack this zip file on the target system,
and set the CLASSPATH to include the jar file, and all should work.
I have as yet only tested this on my local system.
Cheers,
Brad.

Subject: Re: Maven deployment plugin for JavaFX
Chris,
Hopefully some of the following will help. We too did not want to use XCode (much!). You have to install it and use certain upload/notarise tools, but that works.
So, my steps list is:
1. Set up an Apple developer ID, pay fee etc. using an email – we use a@b.c<ma...@b.c> in the following.
2. Create and download a DeveloperID signing cert to your development Mac's login keychain from https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list
3. Create and download a Developer ID profile to System Preferences/Profiles.
4. Build your project with Ant since Ant puts all the library files in a folder called lib in dist. If Maven is your primary environment, just build the top level of the project with Ant. If you know how to make Maven put all the dependencies in one place ready for jpackage please tell me !
5. Local test the Ant project and if it behaves proceed.
6. Make a Mac icon.
7. Using the pre-release Java 15 (you will have to download it) then run jpackage with something like the following script. I’ve hacked it a bit for confidentiality reasons. There may be some space characters that need removing!.
export JAVA_HOME="/Users/myuser/Java Downloads/jdk-15.jdk/Contents/Home"
export PATH=" /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin:/Users/myuser/Java Downloads/jdk-15.jdk/Contents/Home/bin"

8. Check that the signing worked and that the app has appeared at /Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/jpackageappimageoutput/MYAPPNAME.app and that it is double clickable and passes basic testing. Make a backup of what you have created.
9. Zip the .app using Finder compress.
10. Upload
See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution/customizing_the_notarization_workflow section on “Upload Your App to the Notarization Service”.
Create an application password using the Apple Developer site..
xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "MyAppNotarisation4Sept2020" --username a@b.c<ma...@b.c> --password "Apple generated app password" --file /Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/jpackageappimageoutput/MYAPPNAME.app.zip --verbose
Look at the output carefully and hope you get an email.
11. Check the notarization history
xcrun altool --notarization-history 0 --username a@b.c<ma...@b.c> --password "Apple generated app password"
12. Staple the .app
xcrun stapler staple "/Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/jpackageappimageoutput/MYAPPNAME.app"
13. Test: You can now put the .app on your web site, down load it, copy it /Applications on any machine and then double click it.
We have also succeeded in making an installer and a .dmg. The .dmg has to be made from the stapled .app. This process is less tested. Let me know if you get the above to work and I will share.
As mentioned, I’m working on a Java app to do all the above with one click – not finished yet !!

Subject: Re: Maven deployment plugin for JavaFX
I have exactly the same question for any standard Java application. In previous versions of NetBeans an Ant project used to provide this capability but Ant package as seems to be broken in NetBeans 12. For example, using:
Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE 12.0
Java: 14.0.1; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 14.0.1+7
Runtime: OpenJDK Runtime Environment 14.0.1+7
We get /AntProject/nbproject/build-native.xml:519: typedef class com.sun.javafx.tools.ant.FXJar cannot be found
using the classloader AntClassLoader[].
In order to use Maven which as you say appears not to support we now use jpackage successfully. We have also mastered the issues around Apple notarization needed to distribute an .app or .dmg.
So now we are working on a Java app that will do all the steps in one click for any application !
I agree it would be nice to find a NetBeans plugin for Maven to do all the packaging. If one needs writing then I am happy to contribute the logic and worked examples.

Re: Maven deployment plugin for JavaFX
Posted by David Gradwell <da...@gradwell.com>.
Chris,
Hopefully some of the following will help. We too did not want to use XCode (much!). You have to install it and use certain upload/notarise tools, but that works.
So, my steps list is:
1. Set up an Apple developer ID, pay fee etc. using an email – we use a@b.c<ma...@b.c> in the following.
2. Create and download a DeveloperID signing cert to your development Mac's login keychain from https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list
3. Create and download a Developer ID profile to System Preferences/Profiles.
4. Build your project with Ant since Ant puts all the library files in a folder called lib in dist. If Maven is your primary environment, just build the top level of the project with Ant. If you know how to make Maven put all the dependencies in one place ready for jpackage please tell me !
5. Local test the Ant project and if it behaves proceed.
6. Make a Mac icon.
7. Using the pre-release Java 15 (you will have to download it) then run jpackage with something like the following script. I’ve hacked it a bit for confidentiality reasons. There may be some space characters that need removing!.
export JAVA_HOME="/Users/myuser/Java Downloads/jdk-15.jdk/Contents/Home"
export PATH=" /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin:/Users/myuser/Java Downloads/jdk-15.jdk/Contents/Home/bin"
echo $PATH
rm -r /Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/jpackageappimagetemp
rm -r /Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/jpackageappimageoutput
jpackage --type app-image --app-version 0.0.1 --copyright "My company 2020" --name MYAPPNAME --dest /Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/jpackageappimageoutput --temp /Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/jpackageappimagetemp --vendor "My Company" --icon /Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/MYAPPNAME.icns --input /Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/dist --main-jar MYAPPNAMEAnt.jar --main-class com.you MYAPPNAME.SomeClass --java-options " -Xdock:name=MYAPPNAME" --mac-package-identifier MYAPPNAME --mac-sign --mac-signing-keychain "/Users/myuser/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db" --verbose
8. Check that the signing worked and that the app has appeared at /Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/jpackageappimageoutput/MYAPPNAME.app and that it is double clickable and passes basic testing. Make a backup of what you have created.
9. Zip the .app using Finder compress.
10. Upload
See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution/customizing_the_notarization_workflow section on “Upload Your App to the Notarization Service”.
Create an application password using the Apple Developer site..
xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "MyAppNotarisation4Sept2020" --username a@b.c<ma...@b.c> --password "Apple generated app password" --file /Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/jpackageappimageoutput/MYAPPNAME.app.zip --verbose
Look at the output carefully and hope you get an email.
11. Check the notarization history
xcrun altool --notarization-history 0 --username a@b.c<ma...@b.c> --password "Apple generated app password"
12. Staple the .app
xcrun stapler staple "/Users/myuser/NetBeansDev/MYAPPNAMEAnt/jpackageappimageoutput/MYAPPNAME.app"
13. Test: You can now put the .app on your web site, down load it, copy it /Applications on any machine and then double click it.
We have also succeeded in making an installer and a .dmg. The .dmg has to be made from the stapled .app. This process is less tested. Let me know if you get the above to work and I will share.
As mentioned, I’m working on a Java app to do all the above with one click – not finished yet !!

Can elaborate on this? Or better yet provide some code or script to make this happen? I do NOT want to mess with XCode!!

Subject: Re: Maven deployment plugin for JavaFX
I have exactly the same question for any standard Java application. In previous versions of NetBeans an Ant project used to provide this capability but Ant package as seems to be broken in NetBeans 12. For example, using:
Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE 12.0
Java: 14.0.1; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 14.0.1+7
Runtime: OpenJDK Runtime Environment 14.0.1+7
We get /AntProject/nbproject/build-native.xml:519: typedef class com.sun.javafx.tools.ant.FXJar cannot be found
using the classloader AntClassLoader[].
In order to use Maven which as you say appears not to support we now use jpackage successfully. We have also mastered the issues around Apple notarization needed to distribute an .app or .dmg.
So now we are working on a Java app that will do all the steps in one click for any application !
I agree it would be nice to find a NetBeans plugin for Maven to do all the packaging. If one needs writing then I am happy to contribute the logic and worked examples.

David,
Thanks for outlining your thoughts,it seems like a novel solution. The coveted solution would be (dreaming or ideallyspeaking) a feature integrated into the Project->Properties (or perhapselsewhere in the IDE), which can create a self_contained_installable package ofthe user’s project for a specific platform (or all). This certainly would obviatethe deployment overhead that developers have to grapple with at each softwarerelease. Currently, I cogitate about implementing my own simple JavaFX solutionto output a “.exe” installable on Windows 10.
Thanks

Subject: Maven deployment plugin for JavaFX
Hi,
Does anyone know, if Maven has a plugin deployment for JavaFX application that will render a self-contained installable package for a given (or all) platform(s) (i.e. Windows - 64 bit, Linux or Mac OS)? I rather use a plugin and have the IDE do most of the work than using the Java Jpackage tool and do all the work myself.
Thanks
