jpackage current status

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello Michael,

Currently the native binaries (java launcher) are not included. If you want to do that, you need to generate the jlink image first (what you need to do anyway if you want a specific version).

This is kind of by design, but it looks like if this can be configured in future versions.

Gruss
Bernd

Ah, the obvious. Same solution for application also works. I can programmatically invoke jpackage with this.

This remains a question for me. Should Runtime exec find the native commands included with an application embedded JRE? It currently doesn’t seem to on OS X.
