npm-java-runner

NPM Java Runner

• It will make sure you have JRE installed, or else help download it.
• Include configured jar inside the NPM-package.
• Provide a layer, delegating all arguments, so that the jar is runnable with npx.

Usage

Create an index.js with:

#!/usr/bin/env node
require("npm-java-runner/lib/index").run(__dirname);

Create package.json with:

{
  "name": "NAME",
  "runnable-jar-regexp":".*build/libs/.*\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+\\.jar",
  "files": ["build/libs"],
  "bin": "./index.js",
  "dependencies": {
    "npm-java-runner": "a.b.c"
  }
}

If you release this, you will be able to run your jar with:

npx NAME
