My project is to develop an installer which is an executable for Windows, Mac and Ubuntu. The executables on Windows, Mac and Ubuntu are .exe
, .app and .deb respectively. So, I converted my .jar file to a .exe
file on Windows using a software called launch4j. And on MAC I used a software called Jar-Bundler to convert my jar in to .app file. I want to know if there is any specific software on Ubuntu to convert my jar file in to a .deb
file.
Ubuntu – Convert .jar to .deb package

Best Answer
you can create a DEB from .jar file.
You have to add following code to your pom.xml file
and after that running
mvn package
will gives your a .DEB file.
