Short description of the issue/suggestion:

How do I configure FileAssociations in gradle?

I write this code：

def association = new FileAssociation()
association.extension = 'log'
association.description = 'log_analyzer'
association.mimeType = 'text/plain'

task packageAppForMac(type: PackageTask, dependsOn: shadowJar) {
    appName = project.name
    platform = 'mac'
    fileAssociations  = [
            association
    ]
}

after run it report that:

Unable to store input properties for task ':packageAppForMac'. Property 'fileAssociations' with value '[FileAssociation [mimeType=text/plain, extension=log, description=log]]' cannot be serialized.

Please tell us about your environment:

• JavaPackager version:
• OS version: macos 12.3.1
• JDK version: 1.8.0_181
• Build tool:
  • Maven
  • Gradle

Hi @jinsihou19!
It seems to be a bug, since the FileAssociation class would have to be serializable.

A work around could be to specify the file association in the extension:

javapackager {
    fileAssociations = [
    	new FileAssociation(mimeType: 'text/plain', extension: 'log', description: 'log_analyzer')
    ]
}

Hi @jinsihou19!
I've made FileAssociation class serializable. This should fix this problem. Please, could you try JavaPackager 1.6.7-SNAPSHOT (devel branch)?

It has to be installed manually in your local repo:

git clone https://github.com/fvarrui/JavaPackager --branch devel
cd JavaPackager
./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

JavaPackager v1.6.7 released to Maven Central. See changes here.
