Description

"maven-japplication-plugin" is a plugin for assembling native launchers of Java applications for a number of target platforms. It is based on a similar JApplication Ant task. Currently supports native launchers for Mac and Windows operating systems and also a "java launcher" - a single jar file that can be run via "java jar file.jar".

Prerequisites

Prerequisites and OS requirements are similar to those for JApplication Ant task. In particular for Windows you will need to install NSIS.

Goals

The plugin defines a single goal "japplication".

Examples

A POM that builds a Foo application on Mac. All declared and transitive dependencies (not shown here) will be included in Foo.app automatically:
