Hello! First I wanted to thank all who discussed about the idea of free-java-sdk. I have included small FAQ and (as adviced) I'll be including some documentation about 'why ABC is better than XYZ'. But now - to the facts - what I have now. I think you can try it yourself, just add to /etc/apt/sources.lists deb http://debian.sente.pl/debian ./ and issue: 'apt-get install free-java-sdk' Keep in mind that this is still work-in-progress, however I already have there: sablevm and it's classlib (packaged, ready for first upload) fastjar (it's already in debian) gjdoc (javadoc replacement - packaged, almost ready ffu) cp-tools (javah,javap,serialver - packaged almost ready ffu) jikes (will have to add wrapper for it in fjsdk - later) those tools give you this in /usr/lib/fjsdk/bin: jar java javac javadoc javah javap serialver I am looking forward for more tools to be integrated there, like rmic, jdb etc. but found none so far (yes, I know kaffe has them). Be warned that all that setup is still a bit experimental (it shouldn't do any damage, but it may not work in all cases) For example - javac javah serialver - I belive very few persons used them till now. Some more, I think, used gjdoc. I am not yet sure, but eventually all (or most) of the tools in classpath-tools project may be integrated into one, single package (classpath-tools). I am discussing it with upstream. I am open for any ideas, comments, bugreports, bugfixes etc. Best regards Grzegorz B. Prokopski PS: I just received authorization to forward you private mail from sablevm author (who tracked our recent discussion). I'll forward it in a minute.
