Because that’s what I learned from Uni, didn’t want that skill to go to waste. I was thinking about how it would be easier to make the apps (plain applications that use executables and shell to run) .desktop file without any hassle (for new Linux users).
Also, Python was two semesters ago, so I forgot all about it.
Alright, but maybe take a look into something like Zenity. The task done by your tool doesn’t really justify installing a huge JRE, when a simple bash script would suffice.
Because it works, does not have any drawbacks that I could see, and is universal, but not from Microsoft, and does not require you to install pip or npm to run.
No offense, but why Java?

Learn Kotlin, it’s adjacent and better.

Why do you need cross platform availability, if .desktop files are (mostly) Linux only?
