TestStaticJavaFX

This is a project where I was attempting to create a static binary of a JavaFX project using only GraalVM

Requirements

• JDK version 22
• GraalVM version 22
• musl and zlib - For setup, read this docs provided by graalVM
• make and configure

How to build static binary?

Important

Change the required paths in the native.sh file before running it.

• Run mvn clean install in the root of the project. This will create a Jar and put the jar of the required modules in the target/modules directory.
• Next, run native.sh file which will invoke the native image to build a static binary.
• The binary gets created successfully.

Problem faced while running it

When I try to run the static executable built earlier, I encounter the following error 👇

Solution

I am still now looking for a feasible solution to the above issue. I know about GluonFx Maven Plugin but, it does not generate a static executable.

Note

If anyone has found out a solution, you can open an issue/discussion or a Pull Request to solve the error mentioning the changes required. It would be very helpful for the community 😄.
