Provide JVM target export option.

It is currenlty impossible to export game to jvm target, only web (JS). Please add additional option if possible.

Hello!

I really appreciate your proposal.

Could you please let me know what you envision for an exported game for the JVM? Would it generate a runnable jar file? Additionally, I was wondering if you though about creating a zip file containing both the client and your game?

I would expect that jvm export will do the same as existion JS export does – genereate the archive what I can extract and run.

But with JVM we have nuances. If you privide just .jar – you need to rely on some low version of Java, to make sure that everyone has it. But today not everyone need java on desktop, can face an issue java instalation required.

I, personally, would go with embedding jvm in zip together with the game. As a first iterations of this feature. On the second round, ideally, I would pack the app using 'jpackage' to privide OS native installation package. It will be great.
Another interesting option is to compile using GraalVM into native executable. For such mini-games (or not mini) it will be just perfect option imo.

For your information, it's very WIP but I succeed to export a game as a standalone app using jpackage on MacOS: 85806c0

I might try to spend a bit of time on it to support other platforms.
