Introduction

Since Java 9, JDK has modules (project Jigsaw) and it provides more or less smoothly way to build JDK versions containing only needed modules. Such formed JDK image can be delivered together with Java application. Because I have several Java based OSS projects (like SciaReto and ZXPoly emulator) which would be nicer with provided pre-built JDK image, I decided to automate processing of JDK image build and have developed the maven plug-in (because Maven is the main tool which I use for OSS projects).

What does it do?

Functionality of the plugin is very easy, it just provides way to execute tools placed in JDK/bin folder like jdeps and jlink, but sometime it is needed to make image of a specific JDK, for such cases my plugin has internal mechanism which automatically downloads needed variant of OpenJDK from a provider, unpack it and the JDK can be used to build JDK image.

At present the plug-in supports listed OpenJDK providers:

• LOCAL - locally provided JDK will be used for operations
• ADOPT - Prebuilt distributives of OpenJDK for many platform, there are hotspot and openj9.
• LIBERICA - Prebuilt distributives of OpenJDK for many platform including embedded ones, distributives include JavaFX module
• SAPMACHINE - Prebuilt distributives of OpenJDK provided by SAP. Each provider has its own set of properties to find needed JDK version, check documentation. If it is impossible to find needed JDK then list of all found distributives will be printed and plugin execution will be failed.

Goals and parameters

The plug-in provides four goals:

Goal cache-jdk

The goal just downloads JDK from a provider, unpack it and placing the JDK folder path into Maven custom named project property which can be used by other plug-ins.

Example

The example of configuration caches OpenJDK from ADOPT provider in project build folder and then save path to its folder into jlink.jdk.path project property

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.igormaznitsa</groupId>
    <artifactId>mvn-jlink-wrapper</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.2</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>cache-jdk-8</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>cache-jdk</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <jdkPathProperty>jlink.jdk.path</jdkPathProperty>
                <jdkCachePath>${project.build.directory}${file.separator}jdkCache</jdkCachePath>

                <provider>ADOPT</provider>
                <providerConfig>
                    <release>jdk8u192-b12</release>
                    <arch>x64</arch>
                    <type>jdk</type>
                    <impl>hotspot</impl>
                </providerConfig>

            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Goal jdeps

The goal automates work with JDK/bin/jdeps utility, it allows to get list of modules needed by a JAR and save result into a file.

Example

The example calls jdeps tool from provided JDK over project jar file and saves output into jdeps.out situated in project build folder.

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.igormaznitsa</groupId>
    <artifactId>mvn-jlink-wrapper</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.2</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>call-jdeps</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>jdeps</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <output>${project.build.directory}${file.separator}jdeps.out</output>
                <options>
                    <option>${project.build.directory}${file.separator}${project.build.finalName}.jar</option>
                </options>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Goal jlink

The goal automates work with JDK/bin/jlink utility, it allows to build JDK image based on jdeps output.

Example

The example calls jlink from provided JDK and build JDK version based on report provided by jdeps tool in jdeps.out file, also java.compiler module will be added. The prepared JDK version will be presented in project build folder, subfolder preparedJDK

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.igormaznitsa</groupId>
    <artifactId>mvn-jlink-wrapper</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.2</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>call-jlink</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>jlink</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <jdepsReportPath>${project.build.directory}${file.separator}jdeps.out</jdepsReportPath>
                <output>${project.build.directory}${file.separator}preparedJDK</output>
                <addModules>
                    <module>java.compiler</module>
                </addModules>
                <options>
                    <option>--compress=2</option>
                    <option>--no-header-files</option>
                    <option>--no-man-pages</option>
                </options>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Goal jdk-tool

It is a universal goal, it allows to make call to any tool situated in JDK/bin and save its output into files.

Example

The example calls jps tool from provided tool JDK with 5 seconds timeout and its output will be written into jps.out file.

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.igormaznitsa</groupId>
    <artifactId>mvn-jlink-wrapper</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.2</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>call-tool</id>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>jdk-tool</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <output>${project.build.directory}${file.separator}jps.out</output>
                <tool>jps</tool>
                <timeout>5</timeout>
                <options>
                    <option>-m</option>
                </options>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
