How To Use JPackage to Create an exe and msi Installer for JavaFX 17 App on Windows 11 x64 1-2

In this guide, I'll demonstrate how to utilize JPackage to generate a self-contained JavaFX or Java 17 application that includes all essential dependencies. This will enable us to create a native package in the form of an EXE or MSI on Windows 11 x64. JPackage has various customizable options to tailor the packaged application to meet specific needs. --type The type of package to create --input Path of the input directory that contains the files to be packaged --dest Path where generated output file is placed --main-jar The main JAR of the application containing the main class --main-class Qualified name of the application main class to execute. --module-path The path to modular jars --add-modules Add list of modules --win-shortcut Creates a desktop shortcut for the application. --win-menu Adds the application to the system menu.
