Show HN: Nuts – pip/NPM for Java with first-class workspaces, JDK provisioning My frustration with distributing java apps didnt show up recently. I remember having implemented my first network jar downloaded back in the 2000's because i needed applet like feature support with desktop full control. Years after, the problem is the very same. Webstart didnt really took off and the only mean i had in my projects was the ugly fatjars, including the (for me) uglier spring-boot repackaging that changes the application classloading behaviour and hence giving me by time some headackes i was not prepared for. So basically nuts started as a response to this frustration 9 years ago, but from now i think its mature enough (used in production) to be shared, and forecebly i am more keen to need suggestions and help from fellow contributors. https://ift.tt/FaQ7b8W June 11, 2026 at 03:53AM
