MSG_Help=Usage: jpackage <options>\n\
\n\
Sample usages:\n\
--------------\n\
\ Generate an application package suitable for the host system:\n\
\ For a modular application:\n\
\ jpackage -n name -p modulePath -m moduleName/className\n\
\ For a non-modular application:\n\
\ jpackage -i inputDir -n name \\\n\
\ --main-class className --main-jar myJar.jar\n\
\ From a pre-built application image:\n\
\ jpackage -n name --app-image appImageDir\n\
\ Generate an application image:\n\
\ For a modular application:\n\
\ jpackage --type app-image -n name -p modulePath \\\n\
\ -m moduleName/className\n\
\ For a non-modular application:\n\
\ jpackage --type app-image -i inputDir -n name \\\n\
\ --main-class className --main-jar myJar.jar\n\
\ To provide your own options to jlink, run jlink separately:\n\
\ jlink --output appRuntimeImage -p modulePath -m moduleName \\\n\
\ --no-header-files [<additional jlink options>...]\n\
\ jpackage --type app-image -n name \\\n\
\ -m moduleName/className --runtime-image appRuntimeImage\n\
