Copied the MacOS directory and Info.plist file from another JavaVirtualMachines bundle. 

Updated the Info.plist version settings from the prior version to jdk 25.

java -version
openjdk version "25-internal" 2025-09-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 25-internal-adhoc.mjh.jdk)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25-internal-adhoc.mjh.jdk, mixed mode)

So the above mystery is solved. Those files are sufficient for a Mac JavaVirtualMachines ready JRE. 
The version settings in the Info.plist must determine how it selects the latest and greatest.

There is no _CodeSignature file. I’m not sure what that might impact. A codesign command could probably be figured out.

So, there are really no jpackage concerns.

For an assist on --runtime-image for JavaVirtualMachines ready copies an enhancement could be provide these files and maybe do the codesign, if the provided runtime seems to need them.

Thanks again.

Mike
