I have native Java application, build with native-image from Graal. As I have never worked with jpackage, I would like to know if I can use to to build installers with it for native applications too?
Jpackage can create msi or dmg or deb as described here. I tested with my javafx+graalvm project under windows and it is created the msi.

When I installed the generated MSI which created this folder C:\Program Files\nameofthepackage and I can see my exe inside.
But I would suggest you to consider Gluon instead, even without javafx it can generate the package you want. Check these ymls.
