I already cloned the OpenJdk Github repo to provide a pull request to provide the fix, but it seems I am not familiar enough with the contribution process and so on.
Can you please push this in the right direction to make the fix happen.
Best regards
Jörg

This would make me as the "nobody use that" user happy, because it feels so bad to access this via ProcessBuilder.
Withdrawn ticket in OpenJDK is here: bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8....

Registration for jmod can be seen here: github.com/openjdk/jdk/..., same for jlink. But jimage seems to be forgotten: github.com/openjdk/jdk/....
IMHO it is trivial to add registration for the jlink and it seems that it also could be almost riskless be backported to JDK25/17/11.

While it was with source/target 8 possible to compile and access the Main of jlink/jimage/jmod, encapsulation with source/target 11 does not. But the intended new ToolProvider API which should the three make accessible in a controlled way, lacks the Tool Registration of jlist.

Hi Stuart,
I hope you had a save travel home from Antwerp.
We talked at Devoxx Antwerp about a flaw with the programmatic accesibility of jimage in JDK21.
