Does JReleaser support non JVM-related programming languages and build tools?Īlmiray: That is correct. InfoQ: The name is heavily rooted in the Java environment. There is no explicit support for WAR files or Kubernetes for the moment. JARs can be shipped with a Docker image JReleaser providing options for creating Dockerfiles based on templates. Homebrew and Scoop support this packaging option from the get-go, others require additional files such as launcher scripts or a binary executable (JReleaser’s template mechanism and packager support fills in this gap). InfoQ: JReleaser’s assumed mission is "publishing artifacts to multiple package managers." Can you please explain if and how JReleaser helps with other build targets, such as WAR/JAR files, Docker images or Kubernetes? Any other?Īlmiray: JAR files, as the typical packaging and deployment target for Java binaries, are sometimes a self-contained application that might include all its dependencies, and it’s configured to be executable as well. Thus we added support for those tools as part of the assembler step which is supposed to be invoked separate from the release step, giving you the option to invoke assemblers as many times as needed, or under the right circumstances, such as on a specific operating system as it’s the case for jpackage and native image. Early on we noticed that there’s an overlap with binary distributions created with jlink, jpackage and GraalVM Native Image. What has changed during these months since we last talked?Īndres Almiray: To begin with, JReleaser expects binaries to be built and assembled by your build tool of choice. InfoQ: Hello Andres, one year has passed since our last chat, in April 2021, when you had just launched JReleaser.
InfoQ reached out to Almiray to further understand how JReleaser has evolved. Support for additional package managers will likely be added in the future.ĭuring the past months, the tool has been picked up by other projects to craft their releases, mostly those using GraalVM Native Image for generating platform-specific binaries.Įven though the Java community has provided numerous open-source contributions to JReleaser over the past year, Almiray continues to be the driving force behind it.
During this time, support for other platform packagers was added: Macports and GoFish. After a year of a steady two releases per month, Andres Almiray, creator of JReleaser, celebrates this anniversary with the rollout of version 1.0. April 2022 marks the one-year anniversary since JReleaser was introduced to the Java community.
