I noticed that Jerry is available as a Snap package 👍
Having it also on (Flathub) would immediately make it available to almost all Linux users.

Won't fix. :-( Currently Flatpak's infrastructure is insufficient. Since JavaFX is out of the JDK, it requires platform dependent binaries.

Thus in order for jerry to be packaged as a flatpak I need either a) flatpaks sdk to include maven, so JavaFX can be included via maven during build time or b) (much better) JavaFX included in the flatpak sdk (cf flathub/org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.openjdk#1 )

I'll monitor this, but for now it's Snap only. Moreover snap support is actually quite good among Linux distributions nowadays . https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd
