But I still wonder, why doesn’t NetBeans use the standard java launcher that is produced by javapackager? NetBeans launcher has been around well before that. NB is in itself an entire platform with a module management infrastructure. It supports specific command line arguments etc. Java Packager may be able to do it now, but someone would need to hash all that out. (If it isn’t good enough, it should be. We should file an issue with the JDK if it is inadequate.) Probably true, but the devil is always in the details. The launchers for NB work with the specifics of NetBeans, and do some special magic. So, the java launcher class to do that magic would need to be provided, but too, NB uses a pluggable JDK, and requires one be provided right now. I think if you want to put together a PR for what that could look like with javapackager, nobody will argue with a working solution. Wade
