Gradle QuickStart Demo Application for FXLauncher
This example showcases how to configure FXLauncher in your Gradle based application to provide automatic updates optionally in combination with native installers.
Please see build.gradle for more information.
Note: Even though FXLauncher has a Gradle plugin, there is nothing Gradle specific about it, and these operations should be easy to perform in any build system. There is also a Maven version of this project.
Operations
The Gradle plugin supports the following tasks:
- copyAppDependencies: Assembles the application into
build/fxlauncher
- generateApplicationManifest: Generates app.xml into
build/fxlauncher
- embedApplicationManifest: Copies app.xml into
fxlauncher.jar
- deployApp: Transfers application to
deployTarget
via scp - generateNativeInstaller: Generates native installer
Normally you would only perform deployApp
to update your application, as all the previous
tasks are dependencies on this one. To test your app locally in build/fxlauncher
you
only need to run the embedApplicationManifest
task.
Configuration
See build.gradle for configuration options.
Prebuilt installers
See http://fxldemo.tornado.no for a prebuilt version of this application, including native installers for Windows, MacOSX and Linux.
Deploy to Amazon S3
The built in deployApp
task will only deploy using scp. If you want to deploy to Amazon S3, you can include this task in your build. Make sure
you run the embedApplicationManifest
first.
task deployS3(type: Exec) {
