B4J Question Regarding b4j packager

[Anurag Jain]

Hi everyone,

I am really liking b4j and seeing great possibilities, even though I am not a coder

I am writing a b4j application, and finally I am trying to pack it with packager. Some reason, after packing it, the application does not run. Than started the debug file, and realize that jssc file fails to load for some reason.

Please help,
Thanks and Regards,

Anurag

Does it run in debug mode? i.e. from the IDE and not the packager.
Can you post the output of what you get when you run it with the packager using the debug console?

Perhaps refer to Tips and special cases 5. in this post Integrated B4JPackager11 - The simple way to distribute standalone UI apps which may be relevant to that issue.

So, for the record, what was the problem?

 

[Anurag Jain]

not able to load jssc file. When after building the package directly from the IDE, I added the jssc.dll in build/bin folder, it ran successfully.

you may refer to the debug txt, I recorded for you, before adding the dll.

@aminoacid the underlying issue relating to jssc.dll is covered in this jSerial library post and the how to deal with it when using the integrated B4JPackager is covered by the point 5 of Tips and special cases in this post Integrated B4JPackager11 - The simple way to distribute standalone UI apps

Thanks Mr Smith.

Is there a method to make a single clickable file also ??

I understand that with the move to JDK11 the ability to run an app by clicking the jar was lost, however I've seen workarounds by others, but I've not gone down that path and just create installers using the integrated B4JPackager. I believe it gives the distribution of apps a more professional look.

So sorry I can't help with your question, but others with more knowledge that I may jump in to help you.
