OK. I didn’t follow exactly what you’re doing. So I don’t know what would be extra. I also assume it wouldn’t address any other architecture specific parts of the jdk that you mentioned.

How are you planning on replacing the executables and getting valid signed applications? I think it could be managed if you jpackage an application only image. Then replace the executables. Then sign and dmg.
