That sounds great. If you browse the archive of debian-java you will find
an discussion about the need for a cross-platform java policy of naming etc.
This resulted in an ongoing developement of a new Debian Java policy.
I am very interested in merging development of this Java policy of packaging
(and with me more i guess)...
Some items that were discussed:
- package naming
- jar file naming
- jar location
- location extracted jar trees
- JVM version requirements
There are some tools developed to resolve classpaths needed for JVM's
and other things that make life for a Java packager easier...
I myself developed a tool that outputs the required jar files from a set
of jar files which satisfies the "imported" classes in the Java source
code...
kind regards,
Egon
