Please review the jpackage fix for bug [1] at [2].
This is a fix for the JDK-8200758-branch branch of the open sandbox
repository (jpackage).
By default pkgbuild generates package with BundleIsRelocatable set to
true, which means if an application already exist on system (installed,
generated on given system or just copied from somewhere else), installer
will not install into default location (/Application), but instead will
update the existing version in place. This is why installed application
was not found in default location, since it was already exist on system.
Fixed by generating package with BundleIsRelocatable set to false. Note:
We used --component option for pkgbuild and in this case pkgbuild was
considered app as single component. With --root (required when using
component property list), pkgbuild was considered Java runtime as child
component of application. This is why child sub-component is removed
from cpl. Java runtime is still part of app and will be installed.
