JDK-17: Wndows jpackage destination directory not writable

[Sverre Moe]

I ran cacls after the failed jpackage.

C:\temp\my-javafx-application>cacls build
C:\temp\my-javafx-application\build <Account Domain not found>F
                             CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)F
                             <Account Domain not found>R
                             CREATOR GROUP:(OI)(CI)(IO)R
                             Everyone:(OI)(CI)R

C:\temp\my-javafx-application>cacls build\native
C:\temp\my-javafx-application\build\native <Account Domain not found>F
                                    CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)F
                                    <Account Domain not found>R
                                    CREATOR GROUP:(OI)(CI)(IO)R
                                    Everyone:(OI)(CI)R


As cacls was deprecated it suggested to use icacls instead:

C:\temp\my-javafx-application>icacls build
build S-1-5-21-406077803-2019195645-689573112-1003:(I)(F)
      CREATOR OWNER:(I)(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
      S-1-5-21-406077803-2019195645-689573112-513:(I)(RX)
      CREATOR GROUP:(I)(OI)(CI)(IO)(RX)
      Everyone:(I)(OI)(CI)(RX)

Running attrib on the workspace, and build dirs:

C:\Temp\my-javafx-application>attrib
A                    C:\Temp\my-javafx-application\.description
A                    C:\Temp\my-javafx-application\.gitignore
