Bob and everyone,
I have no strong feelings about adding a flatpak (and my Linux distribution does not have great support for it, so I won't test - plus I prefer spending my development time on other parts of JMRI which I've been neglecting far too long already).
I'm just slightly wary of either dropping behind java releases or adding more flatpak releases to the JMRI schedule (i.e. 5.10-java17.0.13 on 5.10 release in Dec 2024, 5.10-java17.0.14 on Jan 21, 2025, 5.10-java17.0.15 on Apr 15, 2025 if things go as planned at Oracle).
OTOH, I don't know if this is of any real concern, considering we are already shipping dozens (?) of libraries which also may go out of date in between production releases, and it's not system java but JMRI java :)
Heiko
