Prototype of jpackager in jdk/sandbox [was: Draft JEP proposal: JDK-8200758: Packaging Tool]

[Alexey Semenyuk]

Jörg,

I don't think it will be very much work to bring service bundler code from JFX packager into OpenJDK jpackager. Though I can't give you estimates on amount of work needed to be done for this at the moment.
