Using JPackage on modular application without JLink?

I'm trying to create an installer for my application using JPackage. My understanding is that JPackage takes two inputs: your Java application and a Java runtime. Now, if your application is modular, you typically generate a custom Java runtime using jlink. However, I'm having trouble getting jlink to work because one of my dependencies is an automatic module and I'd have to generate an explicit module declaration first.

As a shortcut, is there a way to run JPackage without jlink for a modular application? My goal here is to create an installer/executable, even if it's not the smallest in size. Can I pass the full JRE as an input? What are my options here? Thank you!
