I have been using the jpackager that Johan Vos backported for OpenJDK 11.
For this I have some points of improvement I would like to mention.
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
3)
The jpackager command line should have the flag --release in addition
to --version. The only way to set a different release than "1" is to
supply a custom spec file for RPM and control file for DEB.
package/linux/test.spec
Version: 1.0.0
Release: RC1
package/linux/control
Version: 1.0.0-RC1
I have filed issue JDK-8213941
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8213941> and we will be
looking into it.
Thanks.
