Package your Java Web Application with Electron + OpenJDK only using Maven

Maven + Springboot + Electron (+ OpenJDK)

This project can be used as a starting point to create your own Springboot application with electron using maven only. It contains all the necessary configuration and some placeholder files to get you started.

This project was inspired a lot by electron-java-app, the difference are:

• Relies for build purposes purely on maven (ofcourse also Node but indirectly)
• Includes OpenJDK
• Electron app uses shipped OpenJDK

How to build

mvn clean install -Pproduction

The artifacts from the electron build will be put into:

• target\electron\springboot-on-electron-darwin-x64
• target\electron\springboot-on-electron-win32-x64

When using Mac OS or linux, wine is required to build windows (check the maven build for further informations).

When using Windows, admin privileges are required to build darwin (check the maven build for further informations).

Shipping OpenJDK

Since not all your users have a JVM available via the classpath a OpenJDK 8 will be packed into the electron builds

Documentation

• Configure electron Application

• Configure the electron archs Part1

• Configure the electron archs Part2

• Electron build Part1

• Electron build Part2

• Configure OpenJDK download

• Configure OpenJDK injection

Build

When executing mvn clean install -Pproduction by default the windows (x64) and darwin (x64) will be build. Building the other archs will probably nto cause any build The rest is currently not supported but adding those shouldn't be to hard but some changed will nee to be mad at these places:

• Create 'scripts' for the other electron archs
• Add the new 'scripts' to the maven build
• Download the correct JDK
• Unpack the Downloaded JDK
• Inject downloaded JDK to the electron build
• Use correct JDK at runtime
