Yes. I talked to a coworker and realized I glossed over that part. We run
jpackage to create an application image and then use InstallBuilder to create
an installer. We have 6 Java applications and dozens of C++ applications that
all go into one big installer.

Andrew,
Thank you for sharing!
As far as I can see you use jpackage to create application image. I think your
solution is optimal for this scenario.
