Hi! I had an idea to work on tree-sitter support for Java, but I don't
have a lot of experience with Emacs-lisp and I haven't signed a
copyright assignment. Though I used emacs for java development for a
while with tree-sitter and I have some queries in my config which might
be useful.

Feel free to use it.
