Sounds great. Thank you. While we are at improving JPackage, there are a few more items I stumbled over: a) When running jpackage on Linux, a freedesktop.org style starter file is created - but one more line in there would make it a lot more usable: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70420618/jpackage-linux-creates-insufficient-desktop-file b) The solution is to override resource files. Meanwhile I found out the resource files are templates, and jpackage replaces specific strings in these files. This however is nowhere mentioned in the documentation. c) Running jpackage in two phases as I do (1: create app-image, 2: create final package) I learned that --name has to be specified in both runs. When running jpackage on MacOS however the second run needs the application name postfixed with .app otherwise jpackage won't find the directory it created in the first run. See the logs https://github.com/HiranChaudhuri/settlers-installer/runs/6055932278?check_suite_focus=true and https://github.com/HiranChaudhuri/settlers-installer/runs/6055948346?check_suite_focus=true Hiran
