com.install4j.api.update.UpdateChecker is not shipped after the build if no launchers

I see that If I remove all launchers in install4j which are redundant to me as our project is webapp as a service, After doing build and executing the installer, The i4jruntime.jar present in C:\Program Files (x86)\Astra\.install4j does not contain com.install4j.api.update.UpdateChecker class. Is it mandatory to have atleast one launcher? I am using install4j 7.0.2. Because of this the working Auto update functionality (Auto update for web app as a service with no launcher) has broken. Kindly help.

This is the "runtime shrinking" feature in install4j. If you start your webapp with a generated service launcher, the compiler will retain all referenced classes in the runtime, including the UpdateChecker.

You can disable runtime shrinking on the "General Settings->Media File Options" step by deselecting the "Shrink runtime library and remove all unused classes" check box.
