    Description

      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      macOS Mojave 10.14.6, Compiling and jlinking with OpenJDK/OpenJFX 13.0.2. Packaging with the latest OpenJDK 14 EA.

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      I tried to package a JavaFX application with the latest jpackage available on Java 14 EA. This generates a macOS application as expected but the working folder is set by default to "/" when I launch the application by double-clicking on the application root folder.
      When I go inside the application folder and double-click on <app root>/Contents/MacOS/<app exec>, the working folder becomes "~/".

      I would expect the application to be something like <app root>/Contents/app.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      1. Create a OpenJDK 13 / Maven project with Netbeans 11.2 using the source code provided.
      2. Compile this Maven project in order to get a dmg file.
      3. Double-click on this dmg file and install the application in the Application folder.
      4. Double-click on the installed application to launch it

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Launching the application should pop up a JavaFX window giving the current working folder.
      The current working folder should be "/Application/<application name>/Contents/app"
      ACTUAL -
      The current working folder is "/"
