How to create a windows executable jar or exe with a javafx application?

Question

Java

How to create a windows executable jar or exe, having a javafx application in IDEA? I did it through built, and then using launch4j, I also tried to launch it using a batch file of this kind - java -jar helloworld.jar . But
it doesn't start.
And I want to make it run on the client without unnecessary settings, only jre. Please tell me a proven way.?

Answer 1

To make a java application ready to run on another machine without further ado, it is worth using the jlink utility included in the JDK . But this will not be a binary, but an assembly from the JRE and your application with launch scripts for different operating systems. You can make a binary using the native-image utility from the GraalVM kit, but this process is not easy and requires understanding the nuances of the compiler and the virtual machine.

FINALLY something useful. It was necessary to immediately insert the text of the error into the question.
So in your screenshot (by the way, I could just run it from cmd and didn’t have to catch it, just copy the text):
(class file version 58.0), this version of Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 54.0
Here is the table:
49 = Java 5
50 = Java 6
51 = Java 7
52 = Java 8
53 = Java 9
54 = Java 10
55 = Java 11
56 = Java 12
57 = Java 13
58 = Java 14
Therefore, the jar is compiled in java14, and you are trying to run it in JRE 10
Recompile your JAR with the appropriate java version (or lower)
