sorry for the mutliple files it wasn't letting me send the error as a .txt (laptop hella buggy) and was to big to send as one

Why do you have your opencv dependency declared 3 times with different scopes? implementation should also cover the other 2.
It does not seem to be able to resolve the dependencies as the dependency list in your image also shows. So for now try to only use implementation to see if ti solves the issue

because i don't know how it works. I started of trying only implementation and it gave me the same exact error

#

i tried looking up some videos on how dependancys work and tried stuff but i get that same error

#

weird thing is, i got it working with using the dll and jar file for openCV but not the other way

west smelt Oct 12, 2025, 11:24 PM

#

It seems like it tries to use the android binaries, or something like that. Try using that implementation 'org.opencv:opencv:4.12.0@jar'

#

Otherwise you can also use the downloaded jar file with implementation files('libs/opencv-4.12.0.jar')

#

Just copy to jar into the project

strange sky Oct 12, 2025, 11:26 PM

I did the libs/files and it didn't load, i thought it was a gradle thing but if its not ill try fix that

#

(when i get the chance)

also, how do i use the build.gradle to choose which file it runs when it builds the jar
like what file is called so it doesn't just perform nothong @west smelt

west smelt Oct 12, 2025, 11:42 PM

#

You don't.
If you want to continue using gradle I suggest you to switch to the Kotlin DSL. Rename you gradle build file to build.gradle.kts. It has a slightly different syntax but is much better in terms of usability. Then add the distribution plugin which builds you a proper distribution of you app. Then you just need to execute a bat/shell script to run your application

You don't need the tasks.jar part, that's what the application plugin does and why you specify it in the application block. If you have a module-info then you can add to application blockmainModule.set(modulename) as well as applicationDefaultJvmArgs.set(listOf())

You're talking about double clicking your jar file and it not working?

That's related to your system not associating it with java.

strong ivyBOT Oct 13, 2025, 4:38 AM

If you double-click on a jar file, and your Java application does not start, your .jar association has been hijacked. You can fix the problem with Jarfix. https://johann.loefflmann.net/en/software/jarfix/index.html

When you click on a .txt file, a program opens up. How does windows know which program to open up. There is a list it maintains that ASSOCIATES file name endings with installed programs (e.g. wordpad, java)

#

I guess this jarfix program programmatically does this for you but somewhere in windows settings you can get that list.

strange sky Oct 13, 2025, 4:44 AM

i just tested another jar file for a public program and it worked, so its def the file itself
not that the file isn't using java correctly ( i think)

So it has the mainclass in the manifest? Is this the only jre you have installed.

Task 'jpackage' not found in root project 'JavaMacroTool'.

strong ivyBOT Oct 13, 2025, 5:20 AM

#

Due to the JVM and bytecode as intermediate execution stage, turning a Java application into a standalone executable (exe, msi, deb, rpm, dmg, pkg) is not trivial.
However, there exist various tools to do the job. They mostly differ in the details of the solution they create and hence also in their purpose:

jpackage (the official tool) - creates an installer
Launch4J - creates a wrapper executable that unwraps on execution
GraalVM - attempts to create an actual native executable instead of wrappers or installers

This guide explains how to use jpackage, an official tool that is available in all JDKs since Java 16. The tool creates an installer for the application, so the end-user will get an executable that guides them through a setup where they can select installation path and tweak other settings, finally resulting in the application being installed on the machine (with a proper uninstaller, desktop shortcuts, start menu entries, ...): https://i.ibb.co/8Kn20fS/2V5ovUu.png

As an example, suppose you have a fat jar of your application called HelloWorld.jar, with a main class called Main. Put the jar into a dedicated release folder for simplicity. Execute the following command and you have an installer for your application in a folder called installer:

jpackage --input "release" --dest "installer" --main-class "Main" --main-jar "HelloWorld.jar" --name "HelloWorld" --win-dir-chooser --win-menu --win-shortcut --type exe

See the official documentation for more information on the available commands and for other operating systems:

Here is an example for a more complex setup which also associates file endings to the application, has a custom icon and more: https://pastebin.com/cfzqSKnW

#

https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/org.panteleyev.jpackageplugin

#

ok I looked at that project it was using this beryx plugin.

plugins {

    application
    id("org.openjfx.javafxplugin") version "0.1.0"
    id("org.beryx.jlink") version "3.1.2"
}

#

With this jlink block

jlink {
    imageZip.set(layout.buildDirectory.file("/distributions/app-${javafx.platform.classifier}.zip"))
    options.set(listOf("--strip-debug", "--compress", "2", "--no-header-files", "--no-man-pages"))
    launcher {
        name = "app"
    }
}

#

and jpackage makes an .exe in the build folder. Actually don't need that jlink block I think.

You should have a module-info file with at least module somename{} right?

strange sky Oct 13, 2025, 6:08 AM

spice hedge right-click on your src/main/java in project view and choose New -> then module-...

by module-info.java do u mean in package module and under that info.java
bc module-info.java is "not a qualified name"

spice hedge Oct 13, 2025, 6:08 AM

not under your packages, out side of, along side it.

so try jpackage or jpackageImage

    requires opencv;

so the file version is the only one that works, but i think this wants something extra or the other method of adding it that would always try use a android version

I haven't read the conversation since we talked yesterday. Why are you executing the jar instead of the distribution that is being built? Execute the gradle command installDist and then in build/install/<project_name>/bin you will find the start files. On windows execute the bat file.

signal dew Oct 14, 2025, 9:30 AM

#

Either as a location relative to the user's profile, or an application installation or work folder.

#

resources and source files are used to build the distribution (usually a jar) that is passed to the JVM to run the application - it's not a file-system, and you'll need some form of storage to store content managed at runtime.

strange sky Oct 14, 2025, 9:33 AM

#

what im confused about, is how im going to put files somewhere that can be used by both uncomplied and the compiled .bat version
like i would have to add the files myself to the .bats location i guess and change some stuff but i just don't know how to do both

signal dew Oct 14, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

a .bat file isn't ever 'compiled'... it's a script.

strange sky Oct 14, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

yeah, i know but its what i mean

#

it still simplifies the files down a lot, which makes it better for releases

and doesn't need a IDE or jarfix

signal dew Oct 14, 2025, 9:39 AM

Batch files can reference paths relative to themselves. If you're distributing your jar file a a batch file to launch it (requiring a JDK too) then you can bundle the images and other files alongside it.

I get that, but what i don't get is how im meant to have a working path that doesn't need replacing before i turn into a .bat script

i really don't know how to explain what im meaning tho which is quite a issue

#

bc if its based off where the .bat is, wouldn't that be different to basing it off where the .jar or the java files are

signal dew Oct 14, 2025, 9:45 AM

#

I don't understand why you need to 'replace' a path. If the path is in a known relative position to the .bat file, then you can work out the path.

strange sky Oct 14, 2025, 9:45 AM

signal dew Oct 14, 2025, 9:46 AM

#

The Java files aren't something you distribute, the jar file is (containing the class files compiled from Java and resource files)

#

One option, when invoking java from the batch file, would be to pass the 'home path' as Java system property to the Java program. This way, the program's 'working folder' doesn't have to change.

And the program can load all of its files relative to that 'home path'.

strange sky Oct 14, 2025, 9:55 AM

#

home path for me would be inder pytorchmacro [JavaMacroTool] right?
so if the files are in the "files" folder (i couldn't think of a better name) as shown, if i copy+paste that same files folder beside the .bat would it be able to read those with the same path, which is based on the "programs working folder"

signal dew Oct 14, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

A batch file can read its own path

Something like (I haven't used batch files for a while)

@echo off

SET BASE_PATH="%~dp0"

echo "My path is %BASE_PATH%"

strange sky Oct 14, 2025, 10:02 AM

#

like this? set APP_HOME=%DIRNAME%..

signal dew Oct 14, 2025, 10:04 AM

#

If the application home is the same folder as where the batch file is, then the %~dp0 is that path.

#

%0 is the batchfile full path and drive, including the batchfile name. ~d extracts the drive letter and ~p extracts the path... %~dp0 is therefore the drive and path of the batch file.

#

So if your application folder was

...someplace...\
    launch.bat
    jdk\
       ...
    lib\
       foo.jar
       bar.jar
    images\
       ...

Then you could do something like

@echo off

set BASE_PATH="%~dp0"
set LOCAL_JDK="%BASE_PATH%"\jdk

"%LOCAL_JDK%"\bin\java.exe -cp "%BASE_PATH%"\lib\*.jar -DAPP_HOME="%BASE_PATH%" some.application.Main

And your application could look up String appPath = System.getProperty("APP_HOME") to look for Path.of(appPath, "images")

#

No idea if all that escaping is correct.

#

And in your project you just want to compile your code to produce the application jar file.
