How To Install libcapsule-maven-nextflow-java on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libcapsule-maven-nextflow-java on Debian 12.
What is libcapsule-maven-nextflow-java
libcapsule-maven-nextflow-java is:
A capsule is a single executable JAR that contains everything an application needs to run either in the form of embedded files or as declarative metadata. Maven Capsule is a capsule that allows the creations of capsules that, instead of embedding their dependencies, download all or some of them from a Maven repository. The dependencies are downloaded, cached locally, and shared among other capsules that also depend on them. In addition, this capsule allows specifying capsule metadata in a POM file in addition to the manifest.
A capsule with the Maven caplet that has all (or almost all) of its dependencies downloaded rather than embedded is known as a “thin” capsule (as opposed to a “fat” capsule, which embeds all of its dependencies). In fact, a capsule may not contain any of the application’s classes/JARs at all. Instead, the capsule’s manifest may contain these attributes alone (and no files in the capsule JAR besides the manifest). When the capsule is launched, the newest available version of the application will be downloaded, cached and launched.
This package contains a fork of the original capsule-maven project. This fork is suited as a dependency of nextflow.
