Description
When I try to create installer on Windows with file associations, jpackager will fail with error below.

jpackager create-installer --verbose --input E:\Temp\output\jar --output output --name Test9 --vendor Alexander --description JavaApplication1 --main-jar JavaApplication1.jar --class javaapplication1.JavaApplication1 --files JavaApplication1.jar --jvm-args -Djnlp.TestName=Test9 --file-associations E:\Temp\output\prop\fileAssociation0.properties

Bundler MSI Installer skipped because of a configuration problem: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Param file-associations
 should be of type interface java.util.List but is a class java.util.HashMap

fileAssociation0.properties contains:
extension=test1
mime-type=application-x/test1
description="Test Extension 1"
icon=E:\Temp\output\icon\Test1.ico

second part should be easy, setOptionValue will add to the existing value if the valueType is String, List, or Map, but only if the arg is listed in "multi_args", the set of args that are allowed multiple instances.

I have a fix for the first part of this: --- a/src/jdk.packager/share/classes/jdk/packager/internal/Arguments.java +++ b/src/jdk.packager/share/classes/jdk/packager/internal/Arguments.java @@ -278,8 +278,13 @@ args.put(StandardBundlerParam.FA_ICON.getID(), icon); } + ArrayList<Map<String, ? super Object>> associationList = + new ArrayList<Map<String, ? super Object>>(); + associationList.add(args); + // check that we really add _another_ value to the list - setOptionValue("file-associations", args); + setOptionValue("file-associations", associationList); + }), Now I can make one file association work, but we really want to make multiple associations work too. (with just this change it will overwrite each association with the next one specified.)
