Does this skill support both Maven and Gradle?

Yes, depending on the template selected, the skill configures either Maven or Gradle as the build system automatically.

Do I need to have Node.js installed?

Yes, this skill relies on 'npx jdeploy', which requires Node.js and npm to be installed on your system.

What is the 'magic argument' in this skill?

The magic argument is the fully-qualified main class name (e.g., com.example.App). Providing this allows jDeploy to automatically derive the project name, group ID, artifact ID, and package structure.

Can I use this to create MCP servers?

Yes, it specifically includes templates for spring-boot-mcp-server and quarkus-mcp-server to help you build AI tools quickly.

Developer Tools

Generates standardized Java projects pre-configured for jDeploy distribution across various frameworks like Swing, Spring Boot, and MCP.

The jDeploy Project Generator skill streamlines the initial phase of Java development by scaffolding production-ready projects via simple commands. It supports a wide array of templates including desktop GUIs (Swing, JavaFX), CLI tools (PicoCLI), and backend services (Spring Boot, Quarkus), as well as modern MCP servers for AI tool integration. By using a 'magic argument' system, it automatically infers project names, package structures, and build configurations from a single class name, and can optionally handle GitHub repository initialization to accelerate the developer workflow from local code to cloud distribution.
