Demo Maven Multi-Module with Jeka

This demo shows how to install a Maven-built Java application from source code using Jeka.

This example uses a Maven multi-module project. Users can install it on their computer as either a JVM application or a native executable.

Install the Application

Install as a JVM application:

jeka app: install repo=https://github.com/jeka-dev/demo-maven-multimodule

Install as a native application:

jeka app: install repo=https://github.com/jeka-dev/demo-maven-multimodule runtime=NATIVE

Run the application:

demo-maven-multimodule

How It Works

Just add the jeka.properties file to your project. This file tells Jeka which JDK to use and the build commands to run.

Project Structure

• app: Main application module
• share: Shared library module

Requirements

To make this work, you need:

1. Fat JAR support: The app/pom.xml uses the maven-shade-plugin to create a fat JAR for JVM mode
2. Native image support: The app/pom.xml includes the native-maven-plugin to build native executables
3. Maven wrapper: Included so the app can build on any computer, even without Maven installed
