Error while trying to package custom image with javapackager in java 9-ea?

I'm trying to use java 9-ea (jdk-9 + 180) and the new javapackager to build my own image from a simple module, but I'm getting a nullpointer exception. Does anyone know if I'm too early, or if I'm not using the correct command switches to get it working? Jlink command works fine but javapackager doesn't. I am using the latest jdk-9 + 180 at the time of writing. I've tried both with keys -native exe

and -native image

, but the same type of error occurs. I also tried this on my Mac by creating my own dmg using a switch -native dmg

, but the same error on this platform. I am actually using javapackager here to be able to bind the assembly in exe/dmg

.

Edit 1: I posted a bug report and can now be seen at the following url: http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8186661

My module-info.java:

module my.module {
    requires javafx.graphics;
    requires javafx.fxml;
    exports sample;
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

First I create a jar with javapackager which works great:

C:\Java9Test\target>javapackager -createjar -appclass sample.Main -srcdir classes -outdir . -outfile myjar -v

I have verified that the resulting jar structure looks ok with correctly compiled module-info.class

and two other classes in it.

The following jlink command works and creates a thumbnail image at runtime:

C:\Java9Test\target>jlink --output release\MyTestApp --compress=2 --module-path "myjar.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9\jmods" --add-modules my.module

However, trying to run the following command to build a custom image using javapackager fails:

C:\Java9Test\target>javapackager -deploy -v -outdir packages -name MyTestApp -native image --module-path "myjar.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9\jmods" --add-modules my.module --module my.module/sample.Main

outputs:
