Java packager

<h2 id="the-java-packager-tool-for-jdk-9">The Java Packager tool for JDK 9</h2>
<p>The Java Packager tool will evolve for JDK 9, making it aware of <a href="/facts/Java_Platform_Module_System/LAGvEqkx">modules</a>, allowing for example to package a module and all the modules it depends on.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a>
</p>
<h2 id="example">Example</h2>
<p>For example, the following command will create a <i>outputJar.jar</i> file with the content of the <i>classesDir</i> directory, and will set the <i>myPackager.MainClass</i> as the executable class of the jar file:
</p>
javapackager -createjar -appclass myPackager.MainClass -srcdir classesDir -outdir out -outfile outputJar -v
