		deepsun on March 3, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The decline and fall of Java on the desktop Last time I used jlink it produced a bunch of folders and a shell file to launch. Is it possible to make it a single binary executable instead (preferrably without GraalVM)? Also I tried to get rid of unused classes using Proguard, but there are zero tutorials for non-Android java apps.

You need jpackage for that, which will create a native executable (unfortunately only for the given platform)
