Frameworks are centrally managed in the store, and gardened by Canonical.
They are primarily intended for mediation of resources - not as a means of
declaring dependencies on a language runtime.  The recommended solution to
this problem under Snappy is for the app developer to bundle the language
runtime (here, the JRE) in their snap package.  There are tools that can
facilitate creating such a snap, such as Mike Terry's deb2snap.
