A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When the java application exits with a non-zero exit code, starting with JDK 17.0.2 this is reported by the .exe launcher generated by jpackage. This breaks applications that use exit codes to report results to their surrounding context.

This is a regression introduced by (seemingly left over debug code from) JDK-8272328

REGRESSION : Last worked in version 17

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
jpackage + run the attached program

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
app exits with status code 1
ACTUAL -
error prompt displays "Child process exited with code 1"

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
public static void main(String[] args) {
  System.exit(1);
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
export PATH=%PATH%;C:\path\to\installation\app

FREQUENCY : always
