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 "/"
