The javapackager tool, which was delivered as part of the Oracle JDK
releases along with JavaFX in JDK 8 through JDK 10, has been removed
from the JDK as of JDK 11. A JEP for a new packaging tool, jpackager, is
being proposed and discussed on core-libs-dev [1].

Subject: javapackager usage
Hi everyone
Is this the right mailing list for all questions about javapackager?
I tried to use javapackager for my spring-boot web application on Windows. So,
naturally, it runs headless.
Although, creating native image and running that exe was successful, there are
some caveats I could not solve yet:
* how to prevent second such process from starting
* is that what -singleton flag is for? it gets rejected as unsupported
option
* running it as a service
* is that what -daemon flag or WinServiceBundler is for? no idea how either
works
* and I failed to get such exe to work with sc and nssm - each fails to
start for different reason
* as the exe produced with javapackager immediately returns, I don't get how to
stop my process
* only way to stop seems sending the kill to the task - is there a better
way?
Thanks for your attention.
Cheers
Jörg
p.s. here the command and options I used with Java 9 JDK:
javapackager -deploy -nosign -native image -daemon -allpermissions -v -outdir
build/dist -outfile vron -name vron -appclass
org.springframework.boot.loader.JarLauncher -v -srcdir .\build\libs
