Javafx Self Contained Application Packaging For Mac
I think the JavaFX deployment team is working on making packaging self-contained applications for multiple operating systems easier in future releases. If all this stuff scares you, then you might be better off using a Webstart, Applet or click to run jar style deployment instead (though they come with their own issues too).
IntroductionJavaFX brings an awesome packaging tool and terrific set of packaging Ant Tasks to the JVM. Starting with, these tools can be used to turn any arbitrary executable jar into native application bundles and installers. If you can follow the instructions for generating a Standalone Executable Jar, then you can turn your JRuby application into an.exe,.msi,.dmg,.deb or.rpm file that can install it and everything it needs to run onto your users systems as a native app. All you need is to get familiar with some ant tasks, and write a Rakefile.Prerequesites. Major improvements were made to the JavaFX packaging tools to make them more flexible, flexible enough to work with JRuby jars.

Message 2 of 30 (218,830 Views) Re: sims 4 cheat not working after update. Subscribe to RSS Feed. Get shareable link. Email to a Friend. Hi guys, Most of the cheats I try in Sims 4 are not working. I usually play without cheats, so this is the first time I tried using them in The Sims 4 (although I think I used the motherlode cheat just after my sister and I got the game to see if it is still the same, and it worked). I have this problem aswell! And its making me crazy that i cannot use the moo cheat (moveobjects on)! I have tried testingcheats on/enabled/true and false/off/disabled but nothing is working, i get no message this cheats is off or on.:( its working on mostly everything else, motherlode, freerealestate and so on. But not on testingcheats or anything following testing cheats.
These improvements were supposed to go into JDK7 update 10, but didn't make it. So, unless a new update comes out that includes the improved packaging tools, you'll need to download and use the JDK8 Early Access Release. Efforts are being made to get these tools into.
Once they are there, you can just have rake download the necessary jar (ant-javafx.jar), and not be bothered about versions at all.If you are releasing your build script/Rakefile into environments you do not immediately control, your script should check for the JDK 8 and include an appropriate error message. Otherwise you are setting your users up for a great deal of pain.The packaging toolkit can only create packages for the OS it is being used on, so for Windows installers you will need to run it on a Windows machine, for OSX installers you will need to run it on a Mac, etc.In order for the installer to be created, you will need some additional tools installed on your system. For Windows you need either Inno Setup 5 or later for an EXE or to generate an MSI. Ghost recon setup.exe download. Make sure the WiX toolset's bin folder is on the PATH. No special tools are needed to generate a DMG, just a recent version of OSX. For Linux, the packager uses dpkg-deb to create DEB installers and rpmbuild for RPM.A Simple ExampleThere are literally hundreds, perhaps thousands, of tasks and customization options you can choose from, so it would be impossible for me to catalog those all here.
Instead, we'll cover a simple example that should explain the basic principles involved, and you can examine the Oracle documentation for more advanced customization.If you aren't familiar with JRuby's Ant library, is a good primer, and there is an excellent sub-chapter in the book. Info( title: 'Hello World App', vendor: 'Me', description: 'Test built from Java executable jar' ) application( mainClass: 'org.jruby.JarBootstrapMain' ) resources do fileset( dir: 'dist' ) do include name: 'HelloWorldApp.jar'This should all be pretty self explanatory. Info is basic info about your app. MainClass will always be org.jruby.JarBootstrapMain for us, unless something in JRuby changes.
The resources block is where you list everything that goes into the package and would include additional files like extra jars or other stuff you might need bundled into the installer, although you may already have this all bundled up into your standalone executable jar. Here we just have the one jar, 'HelloWorldApp.jar', which is in a directory, dist. There are tons of options you can pass to these tasks, and more tasks you can include.
Visit the official for details.Webstart FilesThe JavaFX packaging tool automatically produces Webstart files (a barebones html file to launch it and a jnlp file), used for loading the application from the browser. These are completely broken and unusable with JRuby, as far as I can tell, so be sure to have your rake task remove them, so as not to confuse users.For JRubyFX, we used something like this. send( 'javafx:com.sun.javafx.tools.ant:deploy', nativeBundles: 'all', width: '100', height: '100', outdir: 'build/', outfile: 'HelloWorldApp', verbose: true ) doThis will cause the JavaFX packaging tools to enter verbose mode, and provide more details about the process, including (the important part for customization) the location of a temporary folder where the config resources for the build are held and a list of the resources and the role of each. Copy the contents of this tmp folder into a folder in your project directory (the dir you run rake from) where the packaging tools will know to look for them. For example, on linux this would be mainprojectdir/package/linux. On OSX, it is mainprojectdir/package/macosx. So, if I wanted to use a custom icon, I'd replace the default icon with my own, ensuring it has the same name, and place it inside that linux or macosx folder.
Then run the build again. You can find more information on customizing at the. May also be helpful, as he goes through the process of customizing an app for both Windows and OSX.For Addition Resources See:For an example of using these tasks programatically, check out the project's jrubyfx-jarify tool, which takes a few command-line options and spits out an executable jar and a native package.
