Re:?==?utf-8?q? jpackage: Support building native Windows MSIs

[Armin Schrenk]

Cool. The changes can be found in https://github.com/infeo/jdk/commit/77c50367e3fd7d677bfe2e805be2feafa30b0a37.
Basically, the command line builder for wix3/wix4 is adjusted to set the arch flag to x64, x86 or arm64 depending on return values of some jdk.internal.util.Architecture::is[Architecture] methods. If the architecture is not supported by the wix Version, an IOException("Unsupported architecture") is thrown. I defined an package private enum to filter out already unsupported architectures.

@"Alexey Semenyuk" I've read the contribution guide. So, the next step would be finding a Sponsor?

Best regards,
Armin

Hi Armin,

Your ARM64 MSI contribution/enhancement for the jpackage will be much 
appreciated.
