Including the org.beryx.runtime plugin overrides the defaultJvmOpts in every CreateStartScripts-based task

[pspeed42]

In my application build, I have a CreateStartScripts task for creating a separate start script (for running my app on older JVMs) and I include this in my distZip version of the application. This CreateStartScripts task has customized defaultJvmOpts for running on the older version of Java. Normally that all works fine.

However, as soon as I simply include the beryx.runtime plugin:

plugins {
    id 'org.beryx.runtime' version '1.12.7'
}

...without even configuring anything...
The defaultJvmOpts get overridden with whatever is in applicationDefaultJvmArgs.

This is suboptimal.

My goal is to build platform specific JVM+app bundles with your plugin but also to still build a distZip for "other" platforms. At this point, the only way I can make that work is to use two different build files, one with your plugin included and the other without.

Thanks for your consideration.

This issue is at around this point:

badass-runtime-plugin/src/main/groovy/org/beryx/runtime/RuntimeTask.groovy

Line 88 in 3b04fc7

project.tasks.withType(CreateStartScripts) { CreateStartScripts startScriptTask ->

The configuration gets applied to all CreateStartScripts tasks, I'm guessing under the assumption that all such tasks will be for launching the application, an assumption which turns out to be false if you use that task for other things.

I haven't figured out what the fix would be, but we'd need some way to distinguish the tasks we do want to apply it to, from the ones we don't. Maybe even looking at the name of the task?
