Thank you to all who provided feedback. I have updated the draft JEP
[1], and I think I have incorporated most of the feedback I received.
Specifically, I have reorganized and reworded a few things for clarity,
added '.exe' and '.app in a .dmg' native package format to the list of
features, and added the service bundler (daemon) feature to the "if we
have time" list (at the top of that list).
Please let me know if I missed an important point. I hope to submit this
JEP in the next week or two.

I would like to propose the following Draft JEP [1] for discussion.
JDK-8200758: Packaging Tool
This is intended as a JDK-scope replacement for the existing
javapackager tool that ships with Oracle JDK 10 (and earlier Oracle
JDK releases), and was delivered as part of the JavaFX build. The
javapackager tool has been removed from Oracle JDK 11 along with the
removal of JavaFX.
Comments on this JEP are welcome. It is currently not targeted for a
specific release, but we are aiming for JDK 12.
