--overwrite was removed because our internal reviewers thought that was
inconsistent with other tools.
the problem was that the option required us to fully remove the
directory tree <output>/<name>[.app], without regard to what is in it.
other tools like jlink require a non-existent output path, and developer
can easily "rm -rf" the directory before running jpackage.

OK thanks.
But I guess now I don’t get why —overwrite was removed. This does keep
it from writing over an old one.
You can manually do that first but why not include a CLI option to do it?
