<AWT Dev> Java 8 updates are causing "Apps that use non-public APIs will be rejected"

[Dr. Michael Paus]

A lot of the confusion here is probably caused by the fact that I (and 
obviously others too)
did not know about the possibility to distinguish between building for 
the Apple app store
and building a package for self-distribution. Is this distinction made 
by either creating a
DMG for self-distribution or a PKG for the Apple app store or is there 
even some other
switch? I could live with that for the moment but is all this documented 
somewhere?
At least the help function of the javapackager does not even mention the 
possibility
of creating PKG files.
