    Description

      With the commands:

      jpackage -Djlink.debug=true create-image \
          --input out/artifacts \
          --output out \
          --limit-modules java.base \
          --strip-native-commands \
          --main-jar Jpackager-Hello-jar/Jpackager-Hello.jar \
          --class Main
       
      And a pre-existing output directory the output is:

      invalid option [-Djlink.debug=true]
      Exception: java.io.IOException: Root Directory /ws/MyProjects/Jpackager-Hello/out/Main already exists and --force is not specified"
      Error: Bundler "Linux Application Image" (linux.app) failed to produce a bundle.

      Comments:

       - "invalid option" should be capitalized and have a colon separating it from the bad argument.

       - Processing should have stopped with the invalid argument and not continue.

       - The IOException class name should not be printed, the message should be sufficient.

       - The "ROOT" directory should have a clear correspondence to the command line arguments as being the --input, --output, or --build-root. It is a good thing that the full path name is printed.

       - The final "Error" is redundant with the other errors.

       - --force could be better named and be explicitly about the output directory. perhaps --clean-output.
