  I think the Java Drivewire4 server is the best, my concerns are that
  it might loose it's compatability. Packageing it as a Flatpack or 
AppImage
  could solve that problem but I think that might be a violation of the 
Oracle
  license terms. The python version however could be packed that way 
ensuing
  ongoing compatibility.

  If the Java version can be made to work with the non Oracle GNU version 
of Java
  perhaps then it could be distributed as a AppImage.
