jpackage java commands

[Andy Herrick]

I don't think jlink will ever include the jdk development tools in a 
custom runtime (using jlink on windows or mac without 
--strip-native-commands only gives me java and keytool), but you can 
include the whole jdk (less src.zip and the jmods directory) by using 
--runtime-image <runtime dir> and pointing <runtime dir> to the JDK you 
are running jpackage from (or you can take copy of that JDK, modify it 
in any way you want, and point to that)).
