# Capsule Desktop

This application will build Mac OS X, Linux and/or Windows native executables for a [capsule](https://github.com/puniverse/capsule).

## Usage

`capsule-desktop` is itself distributed as a capsule. Run it with the `-?` option to print the usage information:

```

Option                                  Description          

------                                  -----------          

-?, -h, --help                          Show help            

-c, --capsule                                                        

-l, --loglevel                                                      

-m, --macosx                            Build Mac OS X binary

-o, --output                                          

-u, --unix                              Build Unix binary    

-w, --windows                           Build Windows binary 

```


`capsule-desktop` can be run both against plain (e.g. "fat") capsules and [Maven-based](https://github.com/puniverse/capsule-desktop) ones.

An [example Java Swing application is available](https://github.com/puniverse/capsule-gui-demo) that can conveniently be used to try out `capsule-desktop`.

The following section explains additional application-specific manifest entries that `capsule-desktop` can use.

## Additional Capsule manifest entries

  * `GUI`: whether the `GUIMavenCapsule` caplet should be used instead of `MavenCapsule`. The former will launch a basic Swing-based window displaying dependencies retrieval progress. In addition, when this option is active, Capsule won't wait for the application JVM process to complete before exiting.

  * `Icon`: the icon to be used for the desktop application.

  * `Single-Instance`: if `true` will enforce a single-instance run policy for the native application built by `capsule-desktop`. It currently only works on Mac OS X and Windows.

  * `Implementation-Vendor`, `Native-Description`, `Copyright` and `Internal-Name`: if any of these native metadata entries is present then the other ones must be present as well. Native metadata is currently only supported on Windows
