Issue (Session-2-jlink) in running ./link sh bash file.

[Bhardwaj20241]

Compile the 'hello world' example using:

$ ./compile.sh

Create JAR modules out of the class files:

$ ./packaging.sh

I am able to run above two scripts but getting issues while running below script.

Run jlink to produce a new run-time image (distributable JDK + your app) for the 'hello world' example:

$ ./link.sh 

Error- rahul_bhardwaj@AHM-LL-RahulBh:~/java9/jdk9-jigsaw/session-2-jlink/01_JLink$ ./link.sh

Modified link.sh file -> `JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9.0.4"

set -eu

source ../../common-functions.sh

if [[ "$OSTYPE" == "cygwin" ]] || [[ "$OSTYPE" == "msys" ]] ; then
# Windows users: please not that if the below fails due to JAVA_HOME substitution, please hard-code the JAVA_HOME path into the script
jlink --module-path "${JAVA_HOME}\jmods;mlib"
--add-modules com.greetings,java.base
--output executable
else
jlink --module-path "${JAVA_HOME}/jmods:mlib"
--add-modules com.greetings,java.base

fi

Check out documentation on jlink to survive at this stage

The value to --module-path is a PATH of directories containing the packaged modules.

Replace the path separator ':' with ';' on Microsoft Windows.
