node-jre-extra

NPM version

This module will embed the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) into a Node.js app. It will download the platform specific JRE at installation time. Afterwards the embedding app can be bundled into a platform specific package. This package would not require any further JRE installation steps by users.

Usage

After install the package, you can install JRE with specific version:

# Install JRE 8
$ npx node-jre-extra install

# Install JRE with specific version, for example: 11
$ npx node-jre-extra install -v 11

After installed, you can work with JRE for now:

import { getJavaBin } from 'node-jre-extra'
import { $ } from 'execa'

const jarPath = 'hello.jar'
const javaBin = await getJavaBin()
const result = await $`${javaBin} -jar ${jarPath}`
console.log(result)
