jpackage Linux rpath

[Alexey Semenyuk]

Hi Andrew,

jpackage is providing similar functionality as javapackager, so I think 
you need to keep using patchelf with jpackage as you used it with 
javapackager.
I assume you use jpackage in two phases. The first phase creates 
application image and you use patchelf on launchers created by jpackage 
and then in the second phase you pack application image with modified 
launchers into rpm/deb package.
If this is the case and you would benefit from running jpackage in one 
phase, then I can think of adding to jpackage ability to run 3rd party 
script after application image creation. In this case you will need to 
create shell script using patchelf, place the script in resource 
directory so that jpackage can run the script after application image is 
created but before building rpm/deb package.
