Support for jpackage of JDK 16

Open ScalaWilliam opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

JDK 16 brings with it a new packaging tool jpackage.

Although it seems like a competitor to a degree, it would make sense to make it available through sbt-native-packager as this one includes a JDK in the final distribution and targets Desktop applications it seems; and of course abstracting it away improves things for the end users :-)

Thanks for the feature request.

I guess this would totally make sense. Would you like to contribute @ScalaWilliam 😍😁

The JDKPackager format is already available and if I understand correctly this is somehow a successor ?
