B4J Code Snippet Running B4JBuilder from the browser...

Ola

Off course, you would not use this outside of controlled environments... So how?

Well, if you want to explore something like this, you can do it also using php besides jShell, I think. The php call below, when done returns the output of the call and B4J log result and I have fed it to a code block in my UI.

function BuildApp ($path) {
        echo shell_exec($path." 2>&1");
    }

What I did was just create a basic b4j app with skeleton content that I needed to test, then fired the B4JBuilder by using the shell_exec command above, so that it also receives the output generated.

This is an example path I pushed through, where my b4j app is.

C:\Program Files\Anywhere Software\B4J\B4JBuilder.exe" -task=Build -obfuscate=False -BaseFolder="C:\laragon\www\bvad3storybook\assets\projects\app1\B4J

Did I try to run the built jar file? Of course..

Using the same shell_exec and pushing it this path.

C:\jdk-11.0.1\bin\javaw.exe -Xdebug -Xbatch --module-path C:\jdk-11.0.1\javafx\lib --add-modules ALL-MODULE-PATH -jar "C:\laragon\www\bvad3storybook\assets\projects\app1\B4J\Objects\BVAD3Code.jar"

I was kinda amazed...

Good luck!
