RFR: JDK-8200758 JEP 343: Packaging Tool

[Tornai András]

Hi all,

jpackage* does not have an option to specify the classpath anymore while
javapackager** has this feature. jpackage just collects all the .jar files
from --input directory and puts them on classpath***.

I would like to add some extra .jar files to my application/package but I
do not want them on classpath - with jpackage this seems to be impossible.
Have I overlook something? Would it be possible to improve jpackage with
this?


Many thanks,
András
