Awesome @Erel,
Thank you, can't wait to give this a go.

Thank you...

Wow, great!

I suppose it needs Java 11 - not a random number ?

P.S.
Yes:

 

[Erel]

I suppose it needs Java 11

Or 14...

 

[LucaMs]

Or 14...

I "love" and still use java 8 !

 

[Mark Turney]

Looking forward to trying It on a project which I have almost completed.

 

[LWGShane]

Or 14...

Two questions:

1) If we have 14 installed will B4J use the new "jpackage" tool?

2) Will we be able to build Mac/Linux packages with this via the B4J-Bridge?

 

[Erel]

1. The same underlying tools are used internally.
2. Not at this time. However it will create the json file that you can use to run the packager tool.

 

[MarcoRome]

When the new version will be available ?

 

[LucaMs]

When the new version will be available ?

When you will see it published.

i understand that like this we can run our app even if java is not installed on a windows machine right?
all folders and files needs to be included in the zip file right?

thanx, ilan
(EDIT: just seeing that it is the chit chat forum, maybe should i start a new thread?)

Yes.

Yes. Better to use Inno Script and build an installer.
