Does not run on OSX Big Sur

Greetings, Figured I'd mention this in case any other Jreepad users are in the same boat. I have used Jreepad for my personal note taking for over a decade and would be lost without it, thanks for providing this tool!

Upgraded to Big Sur and it gives Jreepad the white circle of death. It refuses to launch claiming "The developer needs to update it to work with this version of macOS" seemingly implying it's a 32bit app as Big Sur is "64bit only". Java doesn't actually care about this so it seems to be some feature of the .app packaging I guess?

Seems to launch just fine though after manually installing java and manually launching it: java -jar /Applications/Jreepad.app/Contents/Resources/Java/Jreepad-1.6rc3.jar

I don't know much about OSX apps but it would seem to be a trivial fix to twiddle whatever bits needs updating in the Jreepad.app directory to make it work without doing this. Or maby not. Either way it still runs mostly fine when manually launched which is fine for me. Also I know this is the previous version I'm running, but I couldn't get 1.7 to build.

Thanks again!
