Create a standalone binary artifact

[clementdessoude]

I would be awesome to provide a standalone artifact to run Prettier for Java in an ecosystem without node/npm

See #317

Perhaps with https://github.com/zeit/pkg

I tested pkg to create a binary of prettier-java and it seems to be working !
I think we can add binaries at each release, btw @clementdessoude are the release automated ?

You could evaluate GHR for automating binary upload to github releases.

• https://github.com/tcnksm/ghr

I use it here: https://github.com/SAP/xml-tools/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml#L65-L68

Great news @Shaolans ! For the moment, release are not automated. Do you have a script to create the binary executable? If so, I can execute it this afternoon or tomorrow and make a release

[Shaolans]

I was just testing and I have not made a script but I done the following:
It might not be simple as running pkg on the repository since this is a prettier plugin.

• Clone https://github.com/prettier/prettier
• Checkout to the 2.0.0 (the one prettier-java use)
• npm install prettier-plugin-java (in our case we should link to the one we release)
• run pkg
  It will create 3 binary by default: linux, macos and windows but this is surely customizable.

Since we have now migrated to github actions, there is an interesting action here to upload binaries on publish https://github.com/marketplace/actions/github-action-publish-binaries
