B4J Question [SOLVED] b4jPackager Issue - jdeps list not complete

[Andrew (Digitwell)]

I am trying to use the builtin packager. But I cannot get it to work properly.

I am using the latest version of B4j
I have downloaded the version of Java 11.0.1.


In Main I have -

#AdditionalJar: sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2
#AdditionalJar: bcprov-jdk15on-161
#AdditionalJar: pdfbox-app-2.0.24.jar

#region Packager settings
'https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/solved-b4jpackager11-error-javax-net-ssl-sslhandshakeexception.106141/
#PackagerProperty: IncludedModules = jdk.crypto.ec
'#PackagerProperty: IncludedModules = java.desktop

#PackagerProperty: IconFile = ../../SharedImages/appicon.ico
#PackagerProperty: ExeName = BCG Oral Health
#PackagerProperty: IncludedModules = javafx.web
#CustomBuildAction:  After Packager, %WINDIR%\System32\robocopy.exe, /MIR temp\build\ ../../PackagedOutput
#end region

#CustomBuildAction: 1, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_191\bin\java.exe, -jar C:\B4XBUILDS\compiletime.jar

The output is:

Reading through some of the posts on the forum, it looks like my included modules is not complete. I tried to adding
#PackagerProperty: IncludedModules = java.desktop

which allowed it to compile but then the completed jar filecrashes with:

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Hi,
Probably it's a needless reply but did you try with jdk 14 downloading it from here: https://b4xfiles-4c17.kxcdn.com/jdk-14.0.1.zip ?

I did spot this link which refers to using PDFBox

B4JPackager 11 and PDFBox [Solved]

Hi All, I'm trying the wrapper for PDFBox created from @fixit30 here and it seems to work very well, but B4JPackager does not include it automatically in the stand-alone package. I think that it requires addidional json settings, something similar to jpoi as reported here Any ideas? Thanks

www.b4x.com

so have now included #CustomBuildAction: After Packager, %WINDIR%\System32\robocopy.exe, /e ..\pdfbox temp\build\bin\

It doesn't help the current problem but may solve a later one.

As far as I can tell, it seems to be something to do with the Included modules, my list is a lot shorter than the one in Erel's animated GIF

 

[Andrew (Digitwell)]

Ok, after a lot of messing about with the standalone source version of the packager. I have found the problem.

It seems that the version of bouncy castle I have been using is in some way corrupt.

#AdditionalJar: bcprov-jdk15on-161

Switching to the latest version, #AdditionalJar: bcprov-jdk15on-169

seemed to allow jdeps to run correctly and the Packager to produce a longer set of module.
