B4J Question #CustomBuildAction - direct support for jar files?

[tchart]

In the 8.8 release notes it mentions this;

"#CustomBuildAction - direct support for jar files, including Java 11+ UI jars."

but I couldnt see any examples in the beta discussion.

Is it just a matter of calling a jar file without a prefixing it with the Java path?

Awesome, thanks @OliverA exactly what I was after.

1. Directly run jar files, without worrying about the Java path.
2. Run UI apps with Java 11+. This requires special configuration and is taken care by the IDE.

Note that the "comment links" feature also supports this.
