Clojars Project

deps-bin

A Clojure library that builds an executable containing a embedded jar inside. This library is a deps.edn only alternative for lein-binplus. It will create a executable file that exec java -jar with the provided jvm options, so you still need java on your $PATH.

On MS-Windows, the executable has a .bat extension, since technically it is a script calling java with an embedded jar file.

Usage

To generate a executable, simply merge:

{:bin {:extra-deps {com.github.ericdallo/deps-bin {:mvn/version "RELEASE"}}
       :exec-fn deps-bin.deps-bin/bin
       :exec-args {:jar "my-jar.jar" 
                   :name "my-bin"}}}

into your deps.edn, and build with:

$ clojure -X:bin

and it should generate a executable that you can run with:

./my-bin

In this example, it expects that you have a jar my-jar.jar, you can generate it with depstar, for example:

$ clojure -X:jar && clojure -X:bin

Other options

  • :help true -- show this help (and exit)
  • :jar sym-or-str -- specify the source name of the JAR file
  • :name sym-or-str -- specify the name of the generated BIN file
  • :skip-realign true -- if should skip byte alignment repair.
  • :jvm-opts [strs] -- optional list of JVM options to use during bin executing
  • :platforms [kws] -- optional list of platforms for which to emit bins, valid kws: :unix, :windows, defaults to system platform
