JavaPackager is a hybrid plugin for Maven and Gradle which provides an easy way to package Java applications in native Windows, MacOS or GNU/Linux executables, and generate installers for them. It was born while teaching to my students how to build and distribute their Java apps, and after seeing that a chain of several plugins was needed to achieve this task, I decided to develop a plugin to rule them all. Apply JavaPackager plugin in build.gradle using legacy mode (because at the moment it's only available in Maven Central repository). When you build your app, all configuration details are hardcoded into the executable and cannot be changed without recreating it or hacking with a resource editor. ...

...It hooks into Python’s import machinery so that when you reference a GitHub path, it fetches the code, stores it locally (often with caching), and makes it importable in the current environment. This is helpful for prototyping, teaching, or quickly exploring other people’s utilities without polluting your global site-packages. It also demonstrates how flexible Python’s import system is and can be used as a reference for custom importers. While not a substitute for proper packaging, it’s a clever shortcut for rapid experimentation.
