Johan,
has there been any new updates to jpackager in JDK12 since you backported
it?
I have found some problems with jpackager. Perhaps they might have been
fixed later.
I mentioned this to core-list-dev mailinglist on jpackager thread.
1)
The control file for debian package does not set correct description
--name test
--description This is a Test Application
/tmp/jdk.packager607148779833718376/linux/control
Package: test
Description: test
The RPM gets it correctly
Summary : test
Description :
This is a Test Application
2)
Category is not set on either DEB or RPM
--category
Category or group of the application.
--category "Some/Category/Application"
Group: Unspecified
Section: unknown
Perhaps I have misunderstood what this category is for, because I see this
it is set in the generated application.desktop, but It should definitely
also be set in the RPM and DEB.
/Sverre
