It would be possible to package a downloaded JDK along with the Snap or

question: which one?
I actually created a NetBeans Snap package that does just that. It
downloads and connects to the current OpenJDK Snap package automatically
and will even connect to the current Maven Snap package if installed.
The big caveat is that everything runs strictly confined, including
Apache NetBeans, Apache Maven, and the JDK itself. (Gradle doesn't yet
work in a confined environment.) It's public, but unlisted, as I didn't
want to cause confusion with the official package:
Strictly NetBeans Snap (unlisted)
https://snapcraft.io/strictly-netbeans
It's only suitable for developers like me who were freaked out by supply
chain attacks, such as SolarWinds, and want everything strictly confined
from now on. I especially want to strictly confine tools like NetBeans
and Maven that download hundreds of dependencies and plug-ins from all
over the Internet. Details about how to get all the features working are
here:
Strictly NetBeans Repository
https://github.com/jgneff/strictly-netbeans
There is one feature in Strictly NetBeans that I would like to see in
the official Snap package. Strictly NetBeans is available on four
hardware architectures:
amd64 · arm64 · armhf · i386
Except for a dependency on the GNOME content Snap package, it could have
supported all six architectures:
amd64 · arm64 · armhf · i386 · ppc64el · s390x
László, is there a way to build on more than just "amd64" for the
official Snap package? I notice that developers on other architectures
(arm64, armhf) are finding and installing mine, I assume just because
mine is available and the official one is not.
