Hi, would it be possible to use the x64 version?

Thanks a lot sflor, I didn't thought it was a general problem/bug as I have not used it before. Appreciate fast response and until now, I'll just execute it like this (oneliner): PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/bin/:$PATH launch4j

https://sourceforge.net/p/launch4j/bugs/172/ Doesn't seem to work with Java 9.

I've downloaded this - I have no experience with launch4j. But I think this is not the intended behaviour: $ launch4j Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at com.thoughtworks.xstream.XStream.<init>(XStream.java:145) at com.thoughtworks.xstream.XStream.<init>(XStream.java:181) at com.thoughtworks.xstream.XStream.<init>(XStream.java:169) at net.sf.launch4j.config.ConfigPersister.<init>(ConfigPersister.java:73) at net.sf.launch4j.config.ConfigPersister.<clinit>(ConfigPersister.java:66) at net.sf.launch4j.Main.main(Main.java:58) Caused by: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: begin 0, end 3, length 1 at java.base/java.lang.String.checkBoundsBeginEnd(String.java:3116) at java.base/java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1885) at com.thoughtworks.xstream.core.JVM.getMajorJavaVersion(JVM.java:25) at com.thoughtworks.xstream.core.JVM.<clinit>(JVM.java:12) ... 6 more ?????? Something seems wrong... $ pacaur -Qiv launch4j Root : / Conf File : /etc/pacman.conf DB Path : /var/lib/pacman/ Cache Dirs: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ Hook Dirs : /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/ /etc/pacman.d/hooks/ Lock File : /var/lib/pacman/db.lck Log File : /var/log/pacman.log GPG Dir : /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ Targets : launch4j Name : launch4j Version : 3.11-1 Description : Cross-platform Java executable wrapper Architecture : x86_64 URL : http://launch4j.sf.net Licenses : custom Groups : None Provides : None Depends On : java-runtime lib32-glibc Optional Deps : None Required By : None Optional For : None Conflicts With : None Replaces : None Installed Size : 14.60 MiB Packager : Unknown Packager Build Date : Tue 24 Oct 2017 01:24:46 PM CEST Install Date : Tue 24 Oct 2017 01:24:53 PM CEST Install Reason : Explicitly installed Install Script : No Validated By : None As nothing else is broken on my system, I think maybe this package needs to be updated?

Please link /opt/launch4j/launch4j from /bin so that it is available on PATH after install.

Done, thank you for the tip

Please add 'staticlibs' in options : options=('!strip' 'staticlibs') Otherwise, files in opt/launch4j/w32api/ are removed. Thanx, stef312

Updated to 3.1.0 beta2

Adopted and updated the package to the latest release ;)
