Im using a fork of Java Application Bundler from InfiniteKind - 
https://bitbucket.org/infinitekind/appbundler -Im not deploying to the 
appstore its just uploaded to my website.

So following your advice  I found that libjli.dylib in 
Contents/PlugsIns/jdk1.8.0_20.jdk/Contents/MacOS pointed to 
../Home/jre/lib/jli - replacing the symbolic link with a copy of the 
file has allowed the signing to work, and when installed the application 
stills seem to work, thankyou :)
'
I assume if it doesn't work then you'll have a problem with 
javafxpackager applications as well.

Any thoughts from dev team about removing this symbolic link in the jdk ?
