1Z0-829 Java Platform Overview and Packaging Practice Question
Which THREE statements about the jpackage tool are true?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse jpackage with the deprecated Java Packager (javapackager) or assume it requires an external JRE, when in fact jpackage is a self-contained tool that can generate runtime images and native installers without external dependencies.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
jpackage can create native installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
The jpackage tool is designed to create native installers for Windows (e.g., .exe/.msi), macOS (e.g., .dmg), and Linux (e.g., .deb/.rpm). This is a core feature of jpackage, which replaces the older Java Packager and allows developers to distribute self-contained applications with platform-specific packaging formats.
