blankaspect/fat32Manager

This repository contains the source code and resources of the FAT32Manager application. The repo conforms to the Maven standard directory layout (ie, the source code is in src/main/java and the resources are in src/main/resources).

The Java version of the source code is 17.

The source files in this repo have an expected tab width of 4.

The application requires a platform-specific shared library that is accessed through the Java Native Interface (JNI). The application expects to find the library in the following directory:
src/main/resources/uk/blankaspect/fat32manager/lib

Binaries of shared libraries are provided for 64-bit Linux and Windows:

• The Linux library, libdriveio.so, was built on Ubuntu 20.04.1 with GCC 11. It has been tested only on Ubuntu 20.04.1.
• The Windows library, driveio.dll, was built on Windows 10 with the C++ compiler from Visual C++ 2015 (v14.0) native build tools. It has been tested only on Windows 10.

The driveIO directory of this repo contains the source code of the library for Linux and Windows.

The Kotlin-DSL-based Gradle build script extends the compileJava and jar tasks of the java plug-in and defines the following tasks for launching the application:

• runMain (for use after compileJava)
  Runs the main class with Gradle's Java launcher.
• runMainJre (for use after compileJava)
  Runs the main class with a Java launcher from a JRE that includes JavaFX modules.
• runJar (for use after jar)
  Runs the JAR with Gradle's Java launcher.
• runJarJre (for use after jar)
  Runs the JAR with a Java launcher from a JRE that includes JavaFX modules.

FAT32Manager is a non-modular JavaFX application. The compileJava, jar, runMain and runJar tasks expect the JavaFX modules to be provided by a JavaFX SDK; the two run*Jre tasks expect the JavaFX modules to be provided by a JRE.

JavaFX modules are included in some third-party JREs, such as the Azul Zulu JRE FX packages. If you prefer to create your own JRE that includes JavaFX modules, the blankaspect/makejre repo contains scripts for Linux and Windows that may be useful.
