...The plugin generates launchers, start scripts, and archive layouts ready for distribution or Docker layering. It offers rich configuration for JVM options, system properties, service providers, and add-modules/add-reads tweaks to handle both modular and “automatic module” dependencies. For JavaFX and other common stacks, it provides conveniences that smooth over typical jlink hurdles and platform differences. As a result, you get predictable, fast-starting binaries that are easy to ship across environments without requiring a preinstalled Java runtime.
