Capsule
A packaging and deployment tool that bundles JVM applications into single executable JARs with embedded dependencies and launch metadata.
What is Capsule?
Capsule is a packaging and deployment tool for JVM applications that creates single executable JAR files containing all necessary artifacts, dependencies, and runtime configuration. It solves the problem of complex deployment setups by ensuring applications run consistently with embedded metadata like JVM flags and native libraries. This approach simplifies distribution and eliminates environment-specific issues.
Java and JVM developers who need to package and deploy applications with complex dependencies, native libraries, or specific runtime requirements across different environments.
Developers choose Capsule for its ability to create truly self-contained JARs that handle native libraries and avoid dependency conflicts, unlike traditional fat JARs. Its declarative metadata and caplets system provide fine-grained control over deployment without relying on external scripts or tools.
