Looks like it is (relatively?) easy to include normal apps in the Windows Store: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/PuttingMyVB6WindowsAppsInTheWindows10StoreProjectCentennial.aspx

@tobiasdiez At least not Java apps, only supported are .NET or native Windows Apps when I read it correct.

For Mac App store it is also not possible:

@JabRef/developers Any idea if we can add it to the Ubuntu store? If not, we should close this issue for now.

The idea is outlined at #2345. Please follow up there.

Windows Store is still open, as I believe Java-Apps are possible there.
