Alexander, One thing I notice is that Release Note: Allow per-user and System Wide Configuration of a jpackaged app https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8288249 <https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8288249> Mentions… ~/Library/Application Support/${PACKAGE_NAME} Which would be a per user location. But doesn’t mention /Library Which would be the system level location. Since both of these locations are external to the application bundle I’m not understanding why they would no longer work with whatever you changed. I may need to look closer. Given that this does break that, one possibility might be to include parameter changes in the Info.plist file. Some time back Apple java applications used to include a java dictionary in the plist that was more or less equivalent to the jpackage .cfg file. Maybe a override mechanism could be added to that which would be up to the developer to add in post processing. Customizing the Info.plist file is still the main thing I am considering doing for this feature. Another recent thought was that I could use this to add a hsdis dylib to the jdk lib directory for an application to allow printing disassembly. But then I noticed it doesn’t appear that hsdis is even needed in recent jdk’s? -XX:+PrintAssembly seems to just work. Still you could use post-processing to add whatever java binary executable commands you wanted. This again would mean changes to the embedded jdk that might have signing side effects. I haven’t tested. Mike
