Packages for Fedora (.rpm) or distro-agnostic builds with Flatpak

[heyakyra]

This is a request!

Please provide a build script then I add it.

Plus one for this request.... Would provide a build script if I knew how..

I'm already able to build RPM with a pure Java based tool without Flatpak, I tested my RPMs on Mageia Linux 5:

If you're able to provide a single "fat" JAR, it will work. JNDT is based on Ant and can be called in Gradle.

I would prefer to stick with the official Oracle packager both for practical reasons to not make the build process too complicate and for security reasons. Do you have a script how to build rpm with the default packager. It should basically work, I just did not had time to check it out in details and don't have a Fedora based system set up.

There are more work involved than to install a fat JAR. I have started on including the dependency openjfx into Fedora https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/openjfx

[aiguofer]

interested in this as well! is there any development? been trying to build from source and keep running into problems too

[ManfredKarrer]

If you follow exactly the instructions in /doc/build.md all should work.

The included OpenJDK with openjfx package can be installed by installing java-1.8.0-openjdk-openjfx and java-1.8.0-openjdk-openjfx-devel. The rest is as described in build.md
