Can't generate .deb file with JRE 8 bundled

[FlowArg]

Hi 😄

I'm submitting a bug report.

Short description of the issue/suggestion: A FileNotFoundException is thrown during the GenerateDeb task when I want to bundle a JRE 8 because it's looking for a lib/jspawnhelper file that doesn't exist in Java 8 (It appears in the later versions).

Steps to reproduce the issue/enhancement:

1. Configure a package task :

import io.github.fvarrui.javapackager.gradle.PackageTask;
import io.github.fvarrui.javapackager.model.Platform;

task packageMyAppForLinux(type: PackageTask, dependsOn: build) {
        mainClass = "fr.flowarg.sample.Sample"
	platform = Platform.linux
	createTarball = true
	jrePath = file('jres/linux') // points to a folder containing a JRE for Linux (extracted from a tar.gz)
}

2. Launch the packageMyAppForLinux task and see the error: The GenerateDeb task can't create a .deb file because of a FileNotFoundException.

NOTE: the RPM file is generated correctly without any problem!

What is the expected behavior? The GenerateDeb task ends successfully.

What is the current behavior? The GenerateDeb task fails.

Do you have outputs, screenshots, demos or samples which demonstrate the problem or enhancement? Error stacktrace:

Hi @FlowArg! Thanks for opening this issue. You are right, JavaPackager thinks that jspawnhelper always exists. I'll fix it in 1.7.0 ASAP

[fvarrui]

Fixed in issue-257 (JavaPackager 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT). Since snapshot versions are not being released to Maven Central, you have to install it manually in your local repo. Find instructions in README. Please, try it and give me some feedback. Thanks!!

[FlowArg]

Hi, your fix works as expected! Thanks!

[fvarrui]

Hi, your fix works as expected! Thanks!

Great! I'm happy to hear that ... please, let me close this issue when this fix is released to Maven Central as v1.7.0. Thanks!

[FlowArg]

Alright! I'll know in the future 😄.

[fvarrui]

Branch issue-257 merged into devel, ready to be released
