I got past the original, jigsaw problem with internal apple api’s, running with a command line launch from a shell script. 
when I tried applying the same change, addition of a new -X jvmoption to my application bundle by changing the Info.plist file with Xcode, I get this…

It might be that changing the application bundle doesn’t invalidate the signed application signature but changing the Info.plist does?
I might try regenerating the application including the -X option.

I assume from your message javapackager support for Java 9 isn’t considered complete yet? So I might have to try the same trick of generating a earlier version and then copying in the java 9 jvm. My use of javapackager is still rather limited as for this application reusing the same one has seemed to work best up to now.
