I have a company that makes Conveyor, which is very good at distributing JVM apps. It's primarily meant for desktop apps and replaces jpackage with something that can cross-build, make apps self-updating, auto-minimize the bundled JDK and so on.
Adapting it for servers is something I think about sometimes, and in fact it does already support that to some extent, but it produces debs for that use case.
It's just sort of unclear what JVM developers lack here that isn't already solved by build tool plugins and Docker. Or are you thinking about CLI tooling? Because I have something cooking for that which might be pretty nice.
