> @jianglizhou shouldn't these native executables be built differently to work with the static JDK? Otherwise how does a user create a native executable that launches the JVM?

Right now, jlink creating a modular run-time image, can generate a launch script in the image bin directory. If/when support for creating a static image comes then it will generate a native executable that runs the application. Configuration that is provided at launch time may need to be provided at link time. In that world then it's not clear if there is a real need for custom launcher code. As Jiangli says, we haven't discussed this yet, so can't rule anything in or out right now.
