It combines a GUI, command-line usage, Ant integration, Maven-oriented packaging, JRE discovery, version metadata, splash screens, manifests, and optional bundled-runtime behavior. ### Historique du projet The SourceForge project was registered on 2003-11-27 and is maintained under Grzegorz Kowal's SourceForge account. Its changelog shows a long-lived Java desktop tooling project: the 1.x line was active by 2004, version 2.0 beta1 on 2005-05-13 introduced a new cross-platform wrapper and XML configuration, and version 3.0.0 on 2008-03-16 added runtime and Windows integration improvements. Later releases tracked Java and Windows ecosystem changes. Version 3.8 on 2015-05-09 Mavenized the project; version 3.11 on 2017-06-27 added basic Java 9 support and Linux 64-bit binaries; version 3.14 on 2021-03-07 switched to Java 1.8 and FlatLaf; version 3.50 on 2022-11-13 simplified runtime-search configuration. ### Historique d'adoption Launch4j became a standard answer for Java developers who wanted a Windows .exe without abandoning cross-platform build machines. SourceForge lists operating-system support across Linux, Mac, Solaris, Windows, BSD, and ChromeOS for the tool itself, while noting that the wrapped program runs on Windows. Homebrew and MacPorts packaging placed Launch4j into Unix-like developer workflows, especially for developers building Windows deliverables from macOS or Linux. ### Modes d'utilisation A developer supplies a Launch4j XML configuration describing the jar or class entry point, icon, JRE constraints, command-line behavior, version information, and other wrapper settings. Launch4j then emits a Windows executable while the build can run from Windows, Linux, or macOS. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent Launch4j is package-nerd-significant because it is a bridge artifact: a Java program packaged on Unix-like systems whose main output is a Windows executable wrapper. It exercises packaging assumptions around GUI tools, command-line tools, Ant/Maven integration, MinGW-built headers, bundled runtimes, and platform-specific outputs. ### Chronologie - 2003: SourceForge project registered on 2003-11-27. - 2004: Changelog includes version 1.3.1 dated 2004-11-05. - 2005: Version 2.0 beta1 introduced a cross-platform wrapper and XML configuration. - 2008: Version 3.0.0 added dynamic heap values and Windows integration fixes. - 2015: Version 3.8 Mavenized Launch4j. - 2017: Version 3.11 added basic Java 9 support and Linux 64-bit binaries. - 2021: Version 3.14 switched dependencies to Java 1.8 and FlatLaf. - 2022: Version 3.50 changed runtime path-search behavior. ### Related projects - Related technologies include Java, Windows PE executables, MinGW, Ant, Maven, Sign4j, bundled JRE workflows, and platform-specific Java launchers. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Notes de sécurité Aucun manifest local de gestion des secrets correspondant n'a été trouvé pour launch4j.
