[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello,

Will there be:
- support for displaying and asking for acceptance of license text
- asking for target directory (installing outside of programfiles)
- starting optional post-Installation class
- menu entries
- user vs. System wide Installation (on windows)
- the new launchers also be available as jlink plugin
- theming Installer

Gruss
Bernd

Betreff: Re: Draft JEP proposal: JDK-8200758: Packaging Tool

Thank you to all who provided feedback. I have updated the draft JEP
[1], and I think I have incorporated most of the feedback I received.
Specifically, I have reorganized and reworded a few things for clarity,
added '.exe' and '.app in a .dmg' native package format to the list of
features, and added the service bundler (daemon) feature to the "if we
have time" list (at the top of that list).

Please let me know if I missed an important point. I hope to submit this
JEP in the next week or two.
