How complete is libswing-java?
Why does this need a proposal?
As far as I can tell, you are suggesting that parts of classpath are
packaged. This is usually just done by filing ITPs on WNPP and then
uploading the package. Or file RFPs if you don't want to do the work
yourself.
I fully agree with getting more parts of classpath into Debian though,
particularly libxmlj which I need for the latest gjdoc :)
Another major boost to java in debian would be to get ant moved to main
- I think it's possible, but would need a little work.
