jpackage is a command-line tool to create native installers and packages for Java applications.

It's an incubating feature under the jdk.incubator.jpackage module.

3. Why jpackage?
It's standard practice while distributing software to deliver an installable package to the clients This package is compatible with the user's native platform and hides the internal dependencies and setup configurations. For example, we use DMG files on macOS and MSI/exe files on Windows.

This allows the distribution, installation, and uninstallation of the applications in a manner that's familiar to our end users.

jpackage allows developers to create such an installable package for their JAR files. The user doesn't have to explicitly copy the JAR file or even install Java to run the application. The installable package takes care of all of this.
