alt Hacker NewsThis looks really cool. I'm surprised I didn't find this before when I was searching for something like this. I've been using jpackage[1] for a while now but this seems like it would be easier for me to manage using JReleaser given there is support via Gradle.
Would this be a simple lift and shift job to move to JReleaser (as it seems like it just uses jpackage behind the scenes)? With jpackage, if you want to create a Windows exe, it needs to be built on Windows. Similarly, build dmg on Mac and deb for Linux. Does Jreleaser also require this?

Given that JReleaser relies on jpackage to create native installers, yes, you must run it on the target platform. Luckily it’s not that complicated to do on GitHub Actions. JReleaser offers plenty of examples for different setups, here’s how to do it for jpackage https://jreleaser.org/guide/latest/examples/java/jpackage.ht...
