Anyone know if it's possible to include JBR as part of Compose Desktop app's distribution? I couldn't find if it's possible reliably.

The packaging tasks should use the JRE pointed to by JAVA_HOME (when run from the command line).

Sounds great, thanks!

It’s not likely to be a bug.

You can use a normal JDK which contains all the tools for packaging and define the JRE you want to bundle with your app separately here:

compose.desktop {
    application {
        mainClass = "MainKt"
        javaHome = JAVA_PACKAGE_HOME
        ...

where JAVA_PACKAGE_HOME could be pointing to your JBR.

My app is packaging with JBR without setting

javaHome

in

application

. I just have this in IDEA:

Thanks. Hmm, but when I set the JAVA_HOME as the directory as the Oracle JDK instal path and setting the

javaHome

as the JBR in Android Studio,

compose.desktop {
    application {
        mainClass = "MainKt"
        javaHome = "/Applications/Android_Studio_Preview_iguana_canary13.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home/"
        ...

packaging from the command line still no luck for me.

./gradlew :desktop:packageDistributionForCurrentOS

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':desktopApp:checkRuntime'.
> Failed to check JDK distribution: 'jpackage' is missing
  JDK distribution path: /Applications/Android_Studio_Preview_iguana_canary13.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home

Try a standalone JBR installation maybe

This is where standalone JBR can be downloaded, correct? https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime/releases Tried jbr_jcef-17.0.8.1-osx-aarch64-b1059.3.pkg, but it doesn't seem to have

jlink

and

jpackage.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':desktopApp:checkRuntime'.
> Failed to check JDK distribution: 'jlink', 'jpackage' are missing
  JDK distribution path: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jbr_jcef-17.0.8.1-osx-aarch64-b1059.3/Contents/Home

Also in IDEA -> File -> Project Structure -> SDKs -> Plus button

Ah thanks. I used Android Studio. The JBR downloaded from IDEA has

jlink

and

jpackage.

Hmm, but the app built with

./gradlew :desktopApp:packageDistributionForCurrentOS

or

./gradlew :desktopApp:runDistributable

doesn't seem to have JBR available.

JBR.isAvailable()

returns false

What’s

JBR.isAvailable()

? It returning false seems to be a contradiction

I'm trying to use DecoratedWindow in jewel. And it seems to check the availability of JBR by calling JBR.isAvailable.

print

System.getProperty("java.vendor")

Hmm, it shows "Oracle Corporation" I made sure

javaHome

is set to the downloaded path to JBR. Setting JAVA_HOME to the directory results in the same

compose.desktop {
    application {
        mainClass = "MainKt"
        javaHome = "/Users/thagikura/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jbrsdk-17.0.9/Contents/Home"

The JBRs from https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime/releases do indeed not contain jpackage and jlink and thus cannot be used.

It may be strange that JBRs on GitHub don't have jpackage and jlink, but somehow I managed to bundle JBR in the packaged app using the JBR installed from Intellij IDEA. Thanks both!

Yes, that once happened to me accidentally. Therefore I was surprised that the JBRs I examined either did not contain jpackage/jlink or, if the do contain it, it does not work. Does the DecoratedWindow in jewel now work with this?

I used the JBR installed by navigating to

File -> Project Structure -> SDKs -> Plus button

from Intellij IDEA IDEA version

Ahhh, that worked. The packaged application reports:

Is this runtime now also compatible with Jewel? I haven’t had the time to try that yet.

Yes, jewel worked with the packaged Compose desktop app in Mac.
