appimage does not generate in manjaro

[AmirAli-AZ]

Hi I'm trying to generate an appimage for my javafx app but it does not generate any appimage

As explained in the jpackage doc, the app-image type is used to "test your application before creating an installable package".
Since you probably want an installable package, remove the following lines from the jpackage block:

installerType = 'app-image'
targetPlatform('linux-x86_64', '/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk')

Run the Gradle build again and you should find the installable package (rpm or deb) under build/jpackage. Under build/image you'll find the runtime image and under build/jpackage/Wally you should find the application image.

If you get an error, you may need to put the following line in the jpackage block:

jpackageHome = '/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk'

i did but i still don't see installable package

[siordache]

That's strange. Please run ./gradlew -i clean jpackage and post the output of the jpackage task.

so i think jpackage doesn't support arch and arch based distributions

[siordache]

What happens if you configure installerType = 'deb'?

[AmirAli-AZ]

nope, even app-image doesn't work
I thought app-image will work with all linux distributions

[airsquared]

@AmirAli-AZ are you still having this issue?

[AmirAli-AZ]

Does anything changed?
I don't know, I'll test later

[airsquared]

Try with JDK 17.0.8, there were some bugs related to jpackage fixed there.
