From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

how to package a java application with flatpak? (beehaw.org)

recently I've started working with an open source java gui app that uses jpackage to generate system packages for distributions.

I'm interested in creating a flatpak for this, but I'm not sure what best practices look like for this. Should I attempt to take the files that are generated by jpackage and put those into a flatpak, or should I just take the jar file alone as provide that with a dependency on a runtime that provides java?

fair warning I am a noob in regards to flatpak

Calibre is a Java application and available as a flatpak package. Maybe check how they do it?

Calibre is Python 100%. What gave you the idea it was Java?

Ghidra is properly Java, so better luck looking there.
