Some notes: I tried to snap/snapcraft for freeplane:
- there is a gradle plugin
- some hacking with a wrapper script is needed
- not sure if it can read config from $HOME/.config
  (maybe some more hacking is needed)
- unfortunately, the jdk _must_ be included, that's why I dropped it

Best Regards,
