Dear java team,

the current freeplane package only works with an old JRE [1].
[1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeplane/+bug/2034752

I think that not many users figure out how to set JAVA_CMD or
FREEPLANE_JAVA_HOME, and even if they did, it would be a security risk
due to an old JRE. I cannot package freeplane 1.11.x because it requires
gradle >= 7.x.

Since it is easy to install the upstream .deb...
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeplane/
- select "Files"
- select "freeplane stable"
- select freeplane_1.11.11~upstream-1_all.deb
- install with "sudo apt install
  /path/to/freeplane_1.11.11~upstream-1_all.deb"

... I wonder whether it is better to remove freeplane now?
What do you think?

Best Regards,
Felix
