Which plugin facilitates creating an executable JVM application
Answers
Application plugin helps making an executable JVM application.
It makes it easy to start the application generally during development and to package the application as a TAR and/ZIP file including os specific start scripts.
Providing Application plugin also implicitly applies the Java plugin and main source of this plugin is set effectively in that “application”.
Application plugin is your answer .
JVM is an abstract machine designed to be implemented on top of existing processors .
It helps to convert the given code in JAVA to bytecode and then we can intrepret the code for a given platform by using an interpreter .
This interpreter is called JVM .
The full form of JVM is Java Virtual Machine .
The code is first written in .java .
Then converted to bytecode and then .exe by the JVM .
It is platform independent .
It hides the operating system from JAVA application .
