Right. When jpackage is used to bundle an app (which is the most common use case) it automatically adds Java runtime to the app image.

However, jpackage can be used to bundle standalone Java runtime without an app. For these bundles, the default installation location is in `/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines` subtree, not in `/Applications`. All bundle formats (pkg, dmg, exe, msi, rpm, deb) supported for app bundles are also supported for runtime bundles.
