Problems using jpackage

I'd like to use jpackage to produce a macOS .app and, later, maybe a .dmg file for distribution and installation. Am I right in thinking that I first need to roll up my app's class files into a combined .jar file and then combine that with the Java run-time to make a fully self-contained app?

UPDATE: I've managed to use the maven-shade-plugin to produce an “über” .jar file with all of the dependencies. In order to use jpackage, do I first have to incorporate the Java run-time into the .jar file, or will jpackage take care of that for me?
