      The line item #8 in JDK-8212936 says:
      -------------------------------------------------------

      8.) In src/jdk.packager/unix/scripts/jpackager:

      This file resides in a non-standard directory. We have a small list of directories that are supposed to come after the $MODULE/share|$OS/ part of the path, and "scripts" is not one of them. While there is no rule "forbidding" new kinds of directories, I strongly recommend against this.

      Looking more closely at the file, I wonder if you really need it? It's sole purpose seems to be to launch java -m jdk.packager/jdk.packager.main.Main. For that, we have a much better solution. Just change make/launcher/Launcher-jdk.packager.gmk to include the following contents:

      $(eval $(call SetupBuildLauncher, jpackager, \
          MAIN_CLASS := jdk.packager.main.Main, \
      ))

      It will create a "jpackager" binary. Which works for Windows too, so maybe you won't even need that Windows executable, if that too is just a launcher?
      -----------------------------------------------------
      Basically, we have a jpackager native launcher on windows but use this script on macosx and linux.
      We should create native launcher for all platforms.
