Question 430 of 513
1Z0-829 Java Platform Overview and Packaging Practice Question
Which THREE are valid ways to package a Java 17 application for distribution? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse a 'distribution package' with a 'build artifact' or 'source code delivery', leading them to select options like a ZIP of classes or a shell script, which are not valid packaging formats for end-user distribution.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
JMOD file
A is correct because a JMOD file is a native packaging format introduced in Java 9 (JEP 261) specifically for distributing Java modules. It can include compiled classes, native code, configuration files, and even other JMOD files, making it a valid distribution format for Java 17 applications, especially when using the Java Module System.
