Thanks for the EA version of jpackage. Great job. I wish this could
still make it into Java 13.
Here is a little feedback according to my practical experience with it:
Add type "img", "app" or similar to --package-type.
It makes the handling in scripts easier.
DMG folder does not contain an alias to "Applications" as usual.
DMG folder does not contain a background image.
DMG file has only the default icon but not an application specific icon.
PKG installer shows only the default java icon but not an application
specific icon.
Help message printed for --help:
--icon should mention the possible file types. (Seems to be only ".icns"
for the Mac)
There is no further text after
"Platform dependent options for creating the application package:"
Is there something missing? Are all the --mac-* options not platform
dependent?
On Windows:
The docs should describe which version of WiX should be installed and
how. E.g.,
it is not possible to install the reccomended version on Windows 10 due
to some
missing .Net dependencies.
Wishlist for the future:
Allow to specify a single PNG file or a folder with several PNG files in
various sizes
as the --icon option and generate the platform specific icons internally.
