Updated java policy
Hi
I have now made some updates to the current java policy.
I have removed some things about the PROPOSED status. It is about
to be a sharp version so that part is wiped out.
Changes related to JNI and GCJ.
<para>
Both are shipped as Java bytecode (<filename>*.class</filename>
files, packaged in a <filename>*.jar</filename> archive) and with
an "Architecture: all" since Java bytecode is supposed to be portable.
It may additionally be shipped as machine code, as produced for example
by the GNU Compiler for Java, in a separate architecture-specific
package.
</para>
<para>
If the Java code depends on code written in a "native" language,
for example Java Native Interface code, the compiled native code
&should; be shipped in a separate architecture-specific package.
The package containing Java bytecode should depend on this
package.
</para>
That is the major changes.
Regards,
// Ola
