how to package a java application with flatpak?

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

Is Linux As Good As We Think It Is?
  • The only thing holding me back from asking for an Ubuntu laptop at work is email certificates that we need to install on windows for outlook. Otherwise I'd love to be able to switch

    They don't even let us install wsl2, so annoying

  • How to send a fax from an Android phone

    I put in a credit card application for Bilt and they want address and id verification via fax. They really want me to send a fax apparently

    Most of my documents are virtual now, and I don't have a fax machine. I see that on Google play there are a variety of apps for sending faxes. Is this a good option to go through? Or should I print stuff and find a library with a fax machine

    Help me choose linux's best option for public school lab (distro, desktop, etc.)
  • This 100%. Even if you don't like canonical, you can get Ubuntu for free and then later pay for support if you need. They have experience managing fleets of systems.

    There's a post on Reddit where a Brazilian state government org is testing out Ubuntu at scale.

  • My Experience with Tax Filing Software (Spring 2024)
  • PC version. It had some weird bugs when it came to me putting in our income and looking like it duplicated stuff, but at the end it showed everything just fine.

    Got my tax return recently, was a good chunk too compared to last year which was nice

  • I use Linux mint on my old Thinkpad and for the most part it works great. I use Kubuntu on my desktop. Asides from from weird hardware issues I had when initially setting it up, works great as well (Wayland too).

    I agree with others: Linux mint, fedora, Ubuntu. Honestly, whatever gives you the least number of issues

  • Does anybody use Thunderbird on Android a.k.a. K-9

    Just recently started using thunderbird to see how it would help managing múltiple Gmail accounts. Has anybody used the app version? Is it good? Bad?

    Found a new cafe today and they're using a bunch of old programming language books in their display

    Is anybody using modules yet?

    We've been promised modules for years now, but I haven't heard of anybody using them in a professional setting yet.

    Has anybody here been using them seriously?
