Build with jbundle

[lmangani]

We want to build and distribute our java app using jbundle (https://github.com/avelino/jbundle) to Package our app into a into self-contained binary. No JVM installation required to run the output.

project/jar → jbundle → single binary (runs anywhere)

We want to redesign our build github action to use jbundle and create distribution files (multiplatform) upon a release

Installation From source

git clone https://github.com/avelino/jbundle.git
cd jbundle
cargo install --path .
