It does. This is one of the initial reasons to create such tool. At the moment you can assemble native installers with jpackage (project must be Java based) https://jreleaser.org/guide/latest/reference/assemble/jpacka... or create a .deb file (does not bundle a Java runtime, project does not have to be Java based) https://jreleaser.org/guide/latest/reference/assemble/deb.ht...

It creates MacOS packages, Windows MSI, and Linux bundles. Those are all "installers", right?

Thank you for posting this because I had the same question and installers weren't mentioned when I asked ChatGPT what "releasing" is.
