Roadmap for javafxpackager?

[Joe McGlynn]

Hi Mike,

Take a look at the packager in the 8u20 EA builds, it’s significantly improved over the original FX Packager.

We are looking right now at what features we’ll do for the next feature update for JDK 8 after 8u20.  I believe icon support should already be there in the original FX Packager, and certainly in the 8u20 version.  File associations are coming in a future update, certainly very high on the list of features we want to address.
