Re: Package for the proposed new java policy

Hallo,

I've just uploade a new version of 'new-java-policy' to that location,
which only includes the relevant tools in /usr/bin and all else in
/usr/share/doc/new-java-policy/{,examples}

The changelog:
new-java-policy (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * moved examples into /usr/share/doc/new-java-policy/examples
    -> to use the examples, do a
    'export JAVA_CONFIG_DIR=/usr/share/doc/new-java-policy/examples'
  * changed dh_java manpage heading, which was still dh_python...

 -- Jan Schulz <debian@katzien.de>  Sat,  8 Nov 2003 23:17:00 +0100

Included are:
* findjava -- a script to figure out the command to start a JVM
* java-config -- builds recursivly a CLASSPATH, based on package names
* java-config-update -- renews the contributed classpath entries
                        -> used on install time
* dh_java -- debhelper script to manage java-config files with java packages
* manpages for all the above and java-config-file(5) and findjavarc(5)
* example java-config files for all jav apackages I had installed:
  $ export JAVA_CONFIG_DIR=/usr/share/doc/new-java-policy/examples
  -> use the scripts
* the proposed policy as /usr/share/doc/new-java-policy/policy.txt
