JavaFX on Android using GraalVM and Gluon's client-maven-plugin

This branch allows you to build a native Android application using GraalVM and Gluon's client-maven-plugin. However, if you code inside gitpod you cannot debug through the USB connection, so installing and running must be done locally:

• Configure gitpod to use a docker image with the last graalvm and set it as default
• Code your application and provide build instructions according to gluons documentation
• Run mvn -Pandroid package client:build client:package to build the Android application
• Download the aarch64-android folder in target/client (you get a tar file). I think you could do with a bit less, but I haven’t experimented with minimising the download.
• Clone your project onto your mac and untar the aarch64-android.tar file into target/client so you get the same/necessary build state as in gitpod
• Connect your phone to the USB port and ensure it enters debug mode and run mvn -Pandroid client:install client:run
• The app should open on your phone and you’ll see lots of debug output from it in the console
