One setback with this release is that the javapackager tool, which made native installers that bundled the Java runtime, was removed (presumably because it depended on JavaFX) and there is no replacement for it. One is being proposed at http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/343 but I'm not sure when that is expected to be done.
You can replace it with separate components:
* Run jlink manually (or scripted) to create the bundled runtime.
* Create launcher executables with packr[1].
* Create the installer using whatever tools people normally use for native applications. NSIS[2] and WiX[3] are widely used. (I haven't gotten to this step yet myself.)
