Thank you for sharing this info,
I think it can be very interesting for the JavaFX community since most
of us use JPackage to bundle our JavaFX apps :)

For others who might be curious, Davide filed a bug via
bugreport.java.com and it is now available here:
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8325203
It is almost certainly a bug in jpackage.

Hi John,
thanks for the answer.
The problem happen even with other JDKs like the Azul, corretto...
The weird thing is that to reproduce it you need to package the
program with jpackage and then execute the program using the
generated exe.
This is the only code needed to reproduce the issue.
public static void main(String... args) throws IOException {
String[] cmdToRunUsingArgs = {"cmd.exe", "/C", "C:\\Program
Files\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe"};
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdToRunUsingArgs);
Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor().schedule(() -> {
System.exit(0);
}, 30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
It's very weird because the problem does not happen with the previous
minor version of the JDK21, the JDK 21.01_12.
I'm pretty sure now that this isn't related to JavaFX since the
problem can be reproduced even without JavaFX.
Problem must be in the JPackage.
Thanks

Hi,
Does that Temurin build contain JavaFX, or is it just a new Temurin
build? Did you change anything else besides the JDK used? You
could try other JDK's (openjdk, corretto, etc) as well.
Is there anything being logged that may indicate what went wrong?
That all said, it seems really unlikely this is related to JavaFX.
If System.exit(0) is killing both the new and old application, then
it wasn't really spawned independently, so you can look into that
(you could put a delay there, and see with a tool like `top` or Task
Manager says, and see whether the restarted app is a child process
or not).
It's also possible the problem is in the tools/settings used to
create the ".exe", so see if you changed anything there.

Hi there,
my JavaFX 21.0.2 app experienced a very weird regression when
switching from Temurin
OpenJDK21U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_21.0.1_12
to
OpenJDK21U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_21.0.2_13
I use this method to restart my app.
public void restart() {
// path to my exe app plus one string argument
String[] cmdToRunUsingArgs = {"C:\Users\sblantipodi\AppData\Local\Firefly Luciferin\Firefly
Luciferin.exe","string argument"};
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdToRunUsingArgs);
}catch (SecurityException | IOException e) {
log.error(e.getMessage());
}
javafx.application.Platform.exit();
System.exit(0);
}
It worked well since years until JDK 21.0.2_13.
If I revert back to 21.0.1_12 it works well.
That method should start a new instance of the app, and close the
"old instance".
With JDK 21.0.2_13, it closed the running instance but does not
open a new instance.
I don't know if open a bugreport to JDK but before opening the bug
report I would like to ask you if that method to restart the app is
correct or if you think that I can use a better way.
Thanks
Davide
