Even if you do not go with Maven it is actually very simple.

Edit your build.xml file a little bit (see below). When you ant build your app one file that gets created is UNIXClasspath.txt (or some such) that contains header comments that the run script will use. One such comment is JVMOptions. These are not populated but you can fix this easily:

build.xml:

in the init.properties target define a variable:

<target name="init.properties">

add this >>>> <property name="jvmOptions" value="--add-exports java.base/sun.security.action=ALL-UNNAMED"/>

then in the target build.woapp add jvmOptions=“${jvmOptions}” as you can see on the next line

<woapplication name="${build.app.name}" jvmOptions="${jvmOptions}” frameworksBas ...........

All done, build your deployment app with ant and the woapplication builder will happily put the jvmOptions into the UNIXClasspath.txt file from where the run script will take it an put into the right place on the command line.

One time setup, all done. Its work, I have just recently deployed a Wonder app on Ubuntu 20.something running with JRE 17.

Have fun, IT SIMPLY WORKS! Really, it does. Someone put a lot of thought into this 15 years ago.

Dear Marcus,

Probably I am doing something wrong, I am also sure that this is something very simple, as usual, but sorry, I can’t find what it is.

There is no problem with server for sure. The same application compiled before upgrade to Monterey - Eclipse - Java 17 is deployed with no problems.

The new one can’t be started. Following is my build.xml where I suppose that there is something wrong:
