.desktop files for app-in-snap

Tue Aug 9 07:05:26 UTC 2016

Hi again!
You don't need to have java installed on your system. This is the "magic"
of a snap package, that you can include anything your application needs to
run properly. I use maven plugin for my application, so openjdk 8 is
installed within the snap package.
