Yes, I'm interested in knowing some news too: I use jpackage since
version 1.0 and it's really great.
Having the same thing for Debian would be awesome, actually, good
support for java sdk and java packages is the _only_ thing I miss from
the redhat world since I switched.
BTW: I was wondering if I install rpm, would I be able to use jpackage
rpms? That would be something.
Another question: for my projects I need Sun JDK 1.4.2, and I'm
currently using packages from innovationsw:
deb http://debian.innovationsw.com/debian unstable/i386/
deb http://debian.innovationsw.com/debian unstable/all/
Is there any other options? I would like a better packaged SDK, similar
to the one of jpackage, where I can choose to _not_ install things like
documentation, sources and demos that I don't need on my servers.
Thanks for the attention,
Alex
