jpackage -- icon setting for packages dmg/exe

I do, however, see two problems.

1.) If the --icon option value points to a non-existent file - jpackage 
will use the default icon without any warning, even if --verbose is used.

2.) If a dmg is created with a non default icns file (at least some, may 
be size dependent) , the Applications folder  icon is not shown to give 
user chance to drag application into Applications folder.

I will look int both of these.
