New users sometimes don't know how to start this JAR-file thing.

There's at least one handy way to do it manually :-p http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/launch4j/#screenshots

But I assume this improvement aims at an automated workflow, right?

You are right. I think a direkt solution from the JDK is a better option. JavaFX will help here too:

Would be good if there would be a plugin for Gradle too.

There might be hope: https://github.com/entera/gradle-javafx

Meanwhile JPackage is the default option for creating self-contained, OS specific installers:

It also supported by GitHub actions:
