jpackage custom resources not found

[Kustaa Nyholm]

Seems to work not! Thanks!

Some small quibbles:

The build directory is not kept or used:

Using default package resource Runtime-Info.plist.template [Java Runtime Info.plist]  (add Runtime-Info.plist to the resource-dir to customize)
Kept working directory for debug: /Users/nyholku/EazyCNC-Project/abuildroot
MacBook-Pro:EazyCNC-Project nyholku$ ls /Users/nyholku/EazyCNC-Project/abuildroot
ls: /Users/nyholku/EazyCNC-Project/abuildroot: No such file or directory

Also, what is 'Runtime-Info.plist.template' and why would I want it?

I take it jpackage is not going to build the .dmg and I have to this with standard MacOs tools?
Ok I already do that as the old javapackager generated .dmg did not have the properties I liked
and now way to influence those.

For reference and posterity in case anyone comes hear searching for a worked out sample here is my simplistic test script:

#!/bin/bash

set -e

PACKAGER=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/jpackage

${PACKAGER} --version

${PACKAGER} \
create-image \
--force \
--build-root abuildroot \
--verbose \
--add-modules java.base,java.desktop,java.management,java.sql,java.instrument,java.compiler \
--input buildtest \
--output . \
--name EazyCNC \
--main-jar EazyCNC.jar \
--class eazycnc.Main \
--jvm-args '-Xmx1024m -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:+PrintGC' \
--resource-dir 'javapackager-resources/package/macosx'


'buildtest' is a flat directory that contains all my jars, I will next
figure out if has to be flat or what ever other ways I can use to
organise it better or specify the jars more rationally but as a starting
point that produces correct .app above seems to work for my case.
