Here are a few follow-on comments. As with my earlier comments, none of 
these need to be addressed prior to integration.


1. I found a few more classes that do I/O and could benefit from using 
try-with-resources:
    IOUtils, LinuxAppImageBuilder, LinuxDebBundler, LinuxRpmBundler, 
MacAppImageBuilder, etc.


JLinkBundlerHelper.java:

2. JRE_MODULES_FILENAME and SERVER_JRE_MODULES_FILENAME are unused 
(obsolete) and should be removed.


VersionExtractor.java:

3. The isLessThan method only looks at MAJOR.MINOR so might not be 
flexible enough for some applications


LinuxAppBundler.java:

3. Several places where non-public (package-scope) API is exported 
publicly; these should all be package-scope itself or else 
BundlerParamInfo should be public



LinuxAppImageBuilder.java:

3. createUtf8File is unused (I went looking because I was curious how 
and why we would use such a method). I see similarly-unused methods of 
the same name in the Mac and Windows AppImageBuilder classes.


MacAppImageBuilder.java:

4. Line 818: is the following still needed?

                         || p.toString().contains(
                                 "/Contents/MacOS/JavaAppletPlugin")


WindowsDefender.java + WindowsRegistry.java:

5. Is the check and warning for Windows Defender really needed? Have we 
seen problems as a result of it running while jpackage is building an 
app installer?
