Not compatible with Capsule.io jars but with Workaround about packr HOT 6 CLOSED

Out of interest, what happens if you unpack and repack your JAR manually, using 7zip? Does it still run afterwards?

from packr.

Extracting and then creating the known-working jar with 7zip did not work. I tried all compression levels from Store to Ultra with no successful result, Here's my environment:

• 7-Zip 16.02 (64-bit)
• JDK/JRE 1.8u101

from packr.

I do not know how Capsule works, but this sounds like this is creating some non-trivial JAR archive. My only idea so far is to add a packr option to opt out of the step of un-/re-packing the JAR. This is only done right now to delete native libraries not matching the target platform.

from packr.

I think that would be a valid option.

from packr.

Capsule uses System.exit() when the wrapped program terminates. This may be reason for the abrupt termination you notice here.

Please have a look at puniverse/capsule#107 for more details.

Packr shouldn't repackage your JAR file unless you specified removelibs, e.g. --removelibs myapp.jar. Please try the latest version of packr and create a new issue if you're still running into issues.
