Research direction

The issue targets spotless-cli and requests a runnable JAR published through GitHub Releases and/or Maven Central. Start by reviewing the project's Java build and release configuration, then determine how the existing native binaries are produced; done means a platform-independent JAR is built and published through the selected distribution path.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement
spotless-cli version (if relevant)

I just noticed this repo - sorry for being late :)

any chance to publish the jar for this in addition to native binaries?

That could make this easily runnable with jbang and as mentioned in https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/issues/527#issuecomment-1899125652 enables easy add/remove of dependencies for somewhat dynamic config.

the native binaries i assume don't have that capability?

in any case - being able to run this without having to download a big platform specific binary would be nice IMO :)

Describe the feature

upload the .jar to github releases and/or maven central.

Motivation and use case

easy use of spotless without platform specific binaries.
