Sorry, I was going to leave it at this but did a little more googling out of curiosity. https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8274717 https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8274346 I am sort of gathering that this might make more sense on other platforms? Putting files in an application Contents directory doesn’t seem like a sound practice to me. Are you aware of any actual use cases of this? Maybe someone has a situation where this makes sense on MacOS but I am still not thinking of any. The app directory provides a way to do usual java resource loading. There is no such normal provision for accessing something off of an Application's Contents directory that I am aware of. --mac-dmg-content makes perfect sense for dmg’s. I am not really familiar with package installs maybe it works better there? For an application —app-image if you wanted to allow additional files I think they would be better off extermal to the application. Maybe someplace like the ~/Library/Application\ Support directory. Again maybe I’m missing something and this is commonly used functionality. If so, feel free to ignore this.
