what do folks use to deploy/bundle/distribute tornadofx applications? I wanted to distribute a binary for the three major platforms without the users needing to install jre before

[Bogdan]

gradle application plugin - you need to adjust it so that it captures and jre

[Bogdan]

in general, we need to do 3 tasks in gradle, and in them we need to tweak the plugin settings

[pike]

don't forget you need the 3 different platforms

I use Install4J which is commercial

[voldyman]

thanks everyone! @Bogdan are there any public examples?

@voldyman If you are happy with a 'Runtime image' as opposed to an 'Installation package' then you can use the 'Badass Runtime Plugin'.

Example of its usage here:
https://github.com/chris-hatton/kotlin-multiplatform-template

[darkmoon_uk]

This plugin consolidates all your dependencies and bundles them alongside the appropriate JRE

[darkmoon_uk]

Such that you can distribute a single ZIP file containing everything needed to run, for each platform.

Note this is counterpart to the 'Badass JLink Plugin' - where each serves the equivalent purpose for non-(Java)-Modular and Modular Applications alike.
