</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I tried using jpackage on macOS to create a DMG (which I have not done before) and was surprised when a system dialog was displayed requesting permission for Terminal to control
Finder.<br>
<br>
I found this issue described in JDK-8231855, which was closed without explanation as “not an issue”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">From
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">JDK-8231855: “<span style="color:#172B4D;background:white">Looks like this dialog is part of macOS Catalina Data Protection features. I did not found if it possible not to trigger this prompt.
Also, this prompt is shown only once and subsequent jpackage runs will not show any prompts. As workaround in case when jpackage will be part of automated build system which needs to be run without user intervention it is recommended to run jpackage first
on this system and confirm any prompts.”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>
It seems to me that having a command line build tool try to interact with a user via a dialog is inappropriate, even if it happens only once per system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">So far, I did not figure out other solution for this problem.
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>
<br>
I’m not sure why this dialog is shown, as it appears that all of the actions are performed by running the hdiutil program.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This dialog is shown when we running osascript (<a href="https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/jdk.jpackage/macosx/classes/jdk/jpackage/internal/resources/DMGsetup.scpt">https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/jdk.jpackage/macosx/classes/jdk/jpackage/internal/resources/DMGsetup.scpt</a>)
to post process DMG file. This script will setup DMG background and re-arrange icons, so it look nice.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">
<br>
<br>
It does seem odd, however, that jpackage mounts the DMG to modify its contents. Shouldn’t the contents be set up before creating the DMG?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We need to mount it to run osascript I mentioned above.
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>
Is mounting the image the source of the dialog?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">No, dialog is shown after we mount it from osascript which is run right after DMG is mounted.<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>
Is there some reason this cannot be fixed?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">So far I did not found any substitution to our osascript to setup background image and re-arrange icons. I do not think that Apple provides any other
ways to do it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
