1.) we could remove that functionality (I don't even really understand 
the use case for it), and remove the two arg registerSingleInstance 
method from the public interface, and remove the requires statement in 
module-info.java.

or ...

2.) we could move that functionality to a platform dependent class, 
having dummy methods of setOpenFileHandler in the windows and linux  
platform dependent class.  Then we could add a module-info.java.extra in 
src/jdk.jpackager.runtime/macos/classes with that requires statement.
