Build an Executable

In order to build the Executable of an Application, the SDK provides the Gradle buildExecutable task. The prerequisites to use this task are:

• The Application EntryPoint must be configured, as described in Configure a Project.

• A target VEE Port that uses an Architecture version 7.17 minimum must be defined. Refer to the Select a VEE Port page to know the different ways to provide a VEE Port for a module project.

Once these prerequisites are fulfilled, the Executable can be built:

Android Studio / IntelliJ IDEAEclipseVisual Studio CodeCommand Line Interface

By double-clicking on the buildExecutable task in the Gradle tasks view:

Warning

Android Studio does not allow to run multiple Gradle tasks in parallel. If you still want to execute several Gradle tasks simultaneously, you can launch them from a terminal with the Gradle Command Line Interface (CLI).

In case of Full BSP Connection, the Executable file is generated in the build/application/executable folder of the project.

Trigger Executable Build by Default

The Executable of an Application is not built and published by default (when launching a ./gradlew build or a ./gradlew publish for example). This default behavior can be changed by adding the produceExecutableDuringBuild() method in the microej configuration block of the Gradle build file of the project:

microej {
  produceExecutableDuringBuild()
}
