As a heavy user of Debian based system like Ubuntu, if you’re developing Java Swing applications and want to distibute them to end users either for testing purposes or as a stable software, the first thing you think about is the Debian archive. Distributing Java software as JAR files may not be the best thing towards Debian OS and its derivatives users.
You still have many helper scripts like javahelper ( sudo apt-get install javahelper ) which is itself a bunch of scripts (jh_something), each one having a specific purpose, to help you package your Java application as a Debian file. Besides, it gets irritating to use embedded package installers which do not respect to an extent the system packaging policies and which steals some of your freedom in that matter.
So, What about using only one script that semi-automates the debian packaging for us?
Well, in the recent post Bomico, we gave mention of a tiny Java application that had to be debianized in order to be natively installed in Ubuntu 12.04. To achieve this, we wrote a small script ( JDebianizer script ) that semi-automates debian packaging for us.
The follwoing is the so-called JDebianizer script as it was snapshot the first time. If you want to get the updated script please go to JDebianizer Github REPO:
#!/bin/bash
# Title : JDebianizer
# Description : Script tested only in Ubuntu.
# This script is for Java developers who want to package a simple application for Ubuntu users as a Debian file.
# Rules DO NOT execute this script with root power (sudo).
# The script will try to install md5deep needed to generate md5 sums.
# If no internet connection, md5sums will be used instead.
# JDebianizer is onsole-only, so run it from Terminal or any other Shell.
# Script is compliant only with BASH & KSH. Don't run it with SH, ZSH, DASH..).
# Usage : In order to run the JDebianizer, switch to current directory that contains the script
# and enter:
# ./jdebianizer
# or:
# cd /path/to/containing/folder && bash jdebianizer
# Dependencies : md5deep, whiptail, zenity

# ---------RE-EXECUTE THE SCRIPT ------------------
eval restartscript
exit 0;
If you feel like it’s a good idea, don’t hesitate to join the repository channel JDebianizer Github REPO and contribute to it. The script actually works fine for simple Java Swing applications, but needs many enhancements.
Specifications
For now the script supposes your Java application is already built (E.g: ANT) and that you have in hands a main JAR file (your app) and eventually some libraries it depends on and you want to debianize the whole as one package.
- Script must not be executed root power (sudo).
- The Option (Jayatana Install {Ubuntu Global Menu Integration for Java Swing Apps}) requires internet connection.
- JDebianizer is Console-only, so it must be run from Terminal or any other Shell.
- JDebianizer is not compliant with ZSH.
