Hi Alex,
OpenJDK already provides a packaging tool for Java applications and Java
runtimes.
We don't believe OpenJDK needs another one targeting a narrower scope.
Rather than contributing an MSI installer to OpenJDK which would
duplicate a lot of the functionality already in jpackage, we'd encourage
you to contribute to jpackage enhancements allowing it to satisfy
broader range of requirements for Java runtime installers and should
allow any OpenJDK vendor to leverage it to create whatever exact
installer they may want.
