Class comment needs to be updated. Currently it says:

 * The add-launcher properties file may have any of:
 *
 * appVersion
 * module
 * main-jar
 * main-class
 * icon
 * arguments
 * java-options
 * win-console
 * linux-app-category

I think it would be better to add platform-specific options only if jpackage runs on that platform:

if (Platform.isWindows())  {
    Arguments.putUnlessNull(bundleParams, SHORTCUT_HINT.getID(), getOptionValue(CLIOptions.WIN_SHORTCUT_HINT));
    Arguments.putUnlessNull(bundleParams, MENU_HINT.getID(), getOptionValue(CLIOptions.WIN_MENU_HINT));
}

if (Platform.isLinux())  {
    Arguments.putUnlessNull(bundleParams, SHORTCUT_HINT.getID(), getOptionValue(CLIOptions.LINUX_SHORTCUT_HINT));
}
