SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of building, compiling, and packaging Java 21+ projects that do not rely on external dependencies like Maven or Gradle, simplifying the development workflow for standalone Java applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

Zero-Dependency Builds: Compiles and packages Java projects without external build tools.
Executable JAR Creation: Generates self-contained executable JAR files.
Use Case: You have a simple Java utility with a main method and no external libraries. Use this Skill to quickly compile and package it into a runnable JAR file.

Quick Start

Use the zb skill to build the current Java project into an executable JAR.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build a Java project into an executable JAR without using Maven or Gradle?▼

You can build a Java project into an executable JAR without Maven or Gradle by using a zero-dependency build tool to compile and package single-module Java 21+ applications with a void main() entry point.

Can I compile a standalone Java utility into a runnable JAR without external dependencies?▼

Yes, you can compile a standalone Java utility into a runnable JAR without external dependencies, provided the project uses a single void main() entry point and targets Java 21 or higher.

What is the best way to package a simple Java 21+ application that has no external libraries?▼

The best way to package a simple Java 21+ application without external libraries is using a zero-dependency build approach that generates self-contained executable JAR files directly from the source.

Does this zero-dependency Java build approach work for multi-module projects?▼

No, this zero-dependency Java build approach does not work for multi-module projects; it applies only to single-module Java 21+ projects that do not rely on external libraries or build tools.

Do I need Maven or Gradle installed to compile and package Java 21+ projects?▼

No, you do not need Maven or Gradle installed to compile and package Java 21+ projects, because this zero-dependency build process handles compilation and executable JAR creation independently.
