It builds a directory of files which contains a .bat to launch the bundle.

so it DOES NOT build a native app (jpackager does, but it's a mess: present in 8, removed in 9, coming back in 12 without cross-platform targeting).

The major point of JavaFX is cross platform development. Please offer a cross-platform jpackager, and we'll be happy.
