I’ve never done a Netbeans RCP app so I can’t say what is involved in that 
context, but for a plain JavaFX desktop app it isn’t so bad.  I made a couple 
tasks in my Gradle script to generate a JRE with jimage and then an install 
package with jpackage (from JDK 14-ea).  So far so good.  

(I had more pain dealing with JAXB post JDK 11 as I had gone forward expecting 
JPMS modules to still be available for it from somewhere after it was removed 
from the JDK. )

Scott
