Someone could certainly do that.
We think there is enough interest in having a standard tool that it is
worth spending effort on a replacement tool that will be part of
standard JDK builds, including OpenJDK builds that have never had
javapackager. In the mean time, if a standalone build of javapackager
works for you, then that's great.

The motivation for a new packager states a need for a a packager, but
not why the javapackager can't continue.
With all the work that went into javapackager, why can't it simple be
released for continued development outside Oracle, if they don't want to
maintain it.
The javapackager has worked well for a few years, so why reinvent a
packager with fewer features, rather than expand features, and clear bugs?

Well, while I can surely use the packager from JDK 10 and bundle my application
with 11, I'd still miss out on the packager service, i.e. the application would
not be able to use the UserJvmOptions.
It seems to me the packager service has been completely forgotten? JDK-8200758
does not mention it at all.

Hi Lennart,
You should be able to use the packager from JDK 10, see
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8203379
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8203379>.
There is a draft for a replacement, see
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8200758
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8200758>.

I'm migrating to JDK 11 and OpenJFX 11, and would like to continue using the
packager and the associated packager service (i.e. the UserJvmOptions).
AFAIK, those are gone from the available binary builds, but still there in the
code. Is there a way to use them without resorting to build openjfx myself? If
not, is there some alternative to the UserJvmOptions?
(I'm currently working around my problems by building both openjfx and the JDK,
and bundling openjfx with the JDK, just like in the good old days...)
