Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 jiri vanek 2016-05-29 13:23:51 UTC
Is this tool even supposed to be in openjdk's jre/sdk? I did not not found a trace in sources.

Comment 2 jiri vanek 2016-05-29 13:36:57 UTC
Not jdk9, nor jdk8 I'm wondering - was this ever spotted only in oracle jdk?

I'm tempted to close sthis now, but I'm really confused, so waiting for more experienced openjdk engineer to confirm

It's not part of OpenJDK.

"Performs tasks related to packaging and signing Java and JavaFX applications."
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/javapackager.html

May be worth checking if it's part of OpenJFX. I think that's in Fedora now.
It's certainly not part of the OpenJDK sources.

Just to clarify. OpenJFX is not in Fedora. See bug 1145303.
