Hi!

What would be needed for the Foundation to sponsor the following project ?

Java 16 added a packaging tool:

Provide the jpackage tool, for packaging self-contained Java applications.
https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/392

It currently supports:

    Linux: deb and rpm
    macOS: pkg and dmg
    Windows: msi and exe

The idea is to create a patch for upstream to also support FreeBSD
packages.
