1. What forces you to make the switch from 8 to 11 at the same day when jdk11 comes out? 2. The plan is that when jdk11 comes out there will already be an EA version of jdk12 available which     already contains a version of the new packager which will also work with jdk11 then.     As long as

I am sure the new jpackager tool will be a good substitute. But won't come before jdk12... In fact we are in the current situation : We have a javaFX8 app distributed as a .exe with a bundled JRE. We are mirating to javaFX11. My fear is that there will be a gap between javafx11

I am following openjfx11 carefully, if I understand there won't be a packager tool ? And the answer to this is to use the packager from the jdk10. If I also understand the end of support of jdk10 start with the release of jdk11. So how long will the not supported jdk10 packager will stay

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

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, 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

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
