Setting jpackageHome no longer working

[danielpeintner]

Hi,

I am trying to use a different JDK on MacOS for the jpackage commands compared to the JDK used for the app itself.
Therefore, there is the option jpackageHome (see https://badass-runtime-plugin.beryx.org/releases/latest/#_jpackage)

I am pretty sure I used it already in the past but I no longer manage to get it working.

I tried several things

jpackageHome = '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-21.jdk/Contents/Home'
jpackageHome = '/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21'
jpackageHome = '$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21)'

Am I using the right syntax or is there anything else I need to do?

I also tried to set via the console

export BADASS_RUNTIME_JPACKAGE_HOME=/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21``

Anyhow, it still picks the default JDK I am starting gradle with.

Is this option still working?

Note: I am using the latest version of the plugin.

id 'org.beryx.runtime' version '2.0.0'

Thank you for any advice. Thanks!

FYI: the issue exists on Windows (and I think in general) also

I looked up some older versions (e.g., v1.12.4) of the code (which have getJPackageHomeOrDefault() or getDefaultJPackageHome())

badass-runtime-plugin/src/main/groovy/org/beryx/runtime/data/JPackageData.groovy

Line 123 in 2b37776

String getJPackageHomeOrDefault() {

or

badass-runtime-plugin/src/main/groovy/org/beryx/runtime/data/JPackageData.groovy

Line 128 in 2b37776

String getDefaultJPackageHome() {

which seem to be completely missing in recent versions
see https://github.com/beryx/badass-runtime-plugin/blob/master/src/main/groovy/org/beryx/runtime/data/JPackageData.groovy

I would like to provide a fix, but my knowledge is very limited with that regard...

Note: I think it is useful to have support for setting other jpackage versions.
The reason is rather simple, jpackage from JDK25 seems to have some issues/problems, and it is still good to have Java25 for the application, but use for example JDK21 for building the package.
