need help with freedomotic snappy app

[mauro at freedomotic.com]

Hi Steve
thanks for your reply.
1. I installed oracle java (not openjdk for better performance) manually
downloading the package from the official site because there isn't any
java app in the store).
How should I bundle java in my package?
It should be better to have a java snap to install and use when needed.
What do you think?

2. I'm running as superuser trying to fix the problem.

Let me know and thanks again
Mauro
