Tutorial around using libjvm to create a JVM distribution buildpack #65

What happened?

As a followup to https://github.com/paketo-buildpacks/paketo-website/issues/93, would be great if we could create a tutorial around using the libjvm library to create a JVM distribution buildpack. This would be helpful to users that want to use some JVM distribution that isn't currently supported by Paketo.

Would this still be considered worthwhile? We've created a JVM distribution buildpack, so we could maybe take some time to write down what we did.

It's up to you. I would be 👍. If you want to write it up we could perhaps publish it as a guest blog post or as a contribution to the docs. I think it would be valuable for short to medium term.

What I can say is that we're looking to move away from the individual buildpack per JVM vendor approach as it complicates switching between vendors. The details haven't been worked out exactly but long term it's likely this process will change a bit.
