thisExecutableFile

The JAR file (or exploded classes directory) from which this module's code was loaded, as reported by the class protection domain. Used as the starting point for InstallDirectoryResolver to locate the install lib/ directory.

Since this property is defined in quarkdown-install-layout-navigator, its location is determined by Gradle's dependency resolution: consumers see it as the module's JAR (e.g. quarkdown-install-layout-navigator/build/libs/...) in dev, or as one of the JARs inside <install>/lib/ in a distribution.
