jdeps returns "not found"

I'm following this tutorial which tries to minimize the JVM memory footprint by building a minimal JVM.

When I'm running jdeps -s myjar.jar I'm getting:

myjar.jar -> java.base
myjar.jar -> java.logging
myjar.jar -> not found

In the tutorial he solves this by running another command.

jdeps -cp 'lib/*' -recursive -s myjar.jar

I tried this but I'm getting the same result.

How to run it correctly?

Solution

  • For a Maven project, you can do it like this:

    1. Run mvn dependency:build-classpath
    2. Copy the output of the maven-dependency-plugin (the line after "Dependencies classpath:")
    3. Run jdeps -cp <paste output here> -s -recursive myjar.jar
