New post: &quot;Packaging Ruby Apps with Warbler: Executable JAR Files&quot; Warbler is the JRuby ecosystem’s tool for packaging up Ruby apps with all dependencies in a single deployable file. We’ve just released an update, so let’s explore how to use Warbler to create all-in-one packaged Ruby apps! https://blog.headius.com/2025/10/packaging-ruby-apps-with-warbler-jar-files.html

@headius@mastodon.social This has always been one of my favorite features and use-cases for JRuby!

@headius@mastodon.social ImageVoodoo as the Warbler example is tempting me to revisit JRuby, because one of the virtues of the JRE is that it probably has enough of a platform library that my apps won't require a poorly managed stream of interdependent libraries. I have a side project that runs on NodeJS + Express + a pure-JS image library, compositing text and simple image layers, which works well enough for now, but was tedious to put together. I wonder what #PixieReport might look like as a JRuby web app?

@headius@mastodon.social Ok, ok, you beat me to the updated post! I will still go and look back, and update mine also!
