B4J Question B4JPackager11 - can't create exe for non-ui

[sp2d]

I have successfully created an exe for ui app using B4JPackager11 but can't create an exe for non-ui. It is getting an exception in FindPackageName when Matcher is trying to find "JavaFX-Application-Class" ... the PackageName is not set. I hope i am posting the question in the right place and please point me to some documentation where I can get this resolved.

Thanks

So how do you create an exe for non-ui apps?

You can use launch4j for this. It will not include an embedded JRE but in most cases it is good enough for command line utilities (and it will be very small).
