Hey,

I'm adding Sergio to the conversation, but I think the easiest path is
to create a custom plugin, inheriting from the base java one, which is
outputting a wrapper scripts with different JAVA env variables.
That way, you keep the current building behavior (build with java on the
machine), but output a script which will point to an armhf java path for
instance and download the correct version and packages version for all
those.
Cross-compilation-like may be needed as Manik suggested as you will need
to pull some packages which are architectures specific.

On how to create a custom plugin, here is some documentation:
http://snapcraft.io/docs/build-snaps/plugins and the playpen has some
example:
https://github.com/ubuntu/snappy-playpen/blob/master/idea/parts/plugins/x-antIntellij.py
I'll let Sergio adding more info as needed :)

Cheers,
Didier
