Is there a how-to on using --runtime-image on MacOS? How are you
supposed to get a valid runtime to put into JavaVirtualMachines?
I installed jdk 23 to bootstrap a jdk build. I jpackage’d that.
jpackage --verbose -n rt -t dmg --runtime-image
/Users/mjh/Documents/GitHub/jdk/build/macosx-aarch64-server-release/jdk
This command should produce a Java runtime in JavaVirtualMachines subtree.
The resulting jdk actually appears to have a similar directory layout
to what is in JavaVirtualMachines.
It lacks the _CodeSignature, Info.plist, and MacOS file and directories.
This is intentional (not sure it is correct, though).
It still is not found with either “java —version” or
“/usr/libexec/java_home”
I tried giving it a more standard name in case naming convention mattered.
No, it doesn't. The name you tried should work.
The built is jdk 25 and the 23 bootstrap still shows current.
I thought maybe using that runtime to build an application then
jpackage would make it a valid MacOS runtime
But jpackage --runtime-image with the runtime from that gets a couple
no such file exceptions on
runtime/Contents/Home/lib/libnio.dylib.dSYM/Contents/Info.plist
The app gets
HalfPipe.app/Contents/MacOS/HalfPipe
Error: could not open
`/Users/mjh/HalfPipe/HalfPipe_jpkg/outputdir/HalfPipe.app/Contents/runtime/Contents/Home//lib/jvm.cfg’
Possibly not a bug but not obviously easy either.
Thank you for trying it out! I'll look closer at the issues you reported
and get back to you.
