I'm not sure this is properly done in a way it could be an official package like this (feedback regarding that is welcome though), but I put this together and it seems compile and run:

do_build() {
  # build signal-cli
	gradle build -p signal-cli-${version}


	# build libsignal-client

	# Prevent building the android library
	sed -i "s/include ':android'//" libsignal-${libsignal_version}/java/settings.gradle

	libsignal-${libsignal_version}/java/build_jni.sh desktop

	# add the libsignal-client library we compiled to the libsignal-cli jar
	zip signal-cli-${version}/lib/build/libs/libsignal-cli-${version}.jar libsignal-${libsignal_version}/target/${XBPS_TARGET_MACHINE}-unknown-linux-gnu/release/libsignal_jni.so
}

do_install() {
	gradle installDist -p signal-cli-${version}
}

post_install() {
	sed -i '1s/^/JAVA_HOME=\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/openjdk21\/ \n/' signal-cli-${version}/build/install/signal-cli/bin/signal-cli
	vbin signal-cli-${version}/build/install/signal-cli/bin/signal-cli
	vcopy signal-cli-${version}/build/install/signal-cli/lib/* /usr/lib
	chmod 644 ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/*
}

I don't actually use signal at all though, so others will need to actually test the functionality, but hopefully this helps!

Edit:
Some things to clean up with this would be to move the zip command from do_build to post_build.
And to have the sed in post_install to write a new line below the shebang instead of above

Thank you for the template. Just built the package and will have it test it for a bit.
