The Java Packager tool for JDK 9

The Java Packager tool will evolve for JDK 9, making it aware of modules, allowing for example to package a module and all the modules it depends on.²

Example

For example, the following command will create a outputJar.jar file with the content of the classesDir directory, and will set the myPackager.MainClass as the executable class of the jar file:

javapackager -createjar -appclass myPackager.MainClass -srcdir classesDir -outdir out -outfile outputJar -v
