thank you for the great POC! I do not consider the freeplane gradle
build to be simple ;-) I think there are hacks that need to be taken care
of.

It is not just the gradle build that is the problem. I outlined some
problems here (only from a 2021 perspective):
https://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2021/08/msg00006.html

- (twitter-) emojis are not packaged (scala/js/...!)
- several packages (spring, new swing syntaxpane, groovy, ...) need to
  be updated
- new markedj dependency, ...
- ...

I am not sure that a maven build is a very good idea because I think
there might be gradle hacks that we did not mirror and we'd have a
"FrankenDebianFreeplane"? (am I misusing the term?)

I think there is a chance that we provide a totally incompatible
Freeplane or even ruin *.mm files. I know we patch all the time, but for
Freeplane (non-trivial build system IMHO ;-)) this seems problematic to me.

Also I would need help with stuff like new/updated dependencies,
esp. twemoji (which seems to involve 3 packaging teams).

@stephane: there exists an upstream .deb:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeplane/files/freeplane%20stable/

Cheers and Best Regards,
Felix
