The installation process of the Java-GI application template (a small "example" GNOME app built in Java) is now completely driven by Meson.

Flatpak-builder calls meson, meson calls gradle, gradle produces a "fat jar" (with the shadow plugin). Meson installs the jar and everything else (icons, settings, translations).

I spent a lot of time to get this right.

IMO a good application template is crucial for a language binding. There's SO MUCH to configure: toolchain, translations, settings, icons, resources, offline build, the list goes on.
