bugwatcher problems

[Mark Howard <mh@debian.org>]

Hi,
  I was hoping that some Debian Java experts might be able to help out
with a couple of problems with bugwatcher (debbuggtk package).

1)
  Bugwatcher works with gij or blackdown java
  My wrapper scripts just call /usr/bin/java, since both of the above
  create this. This has two problems:
  - my programs don't work if java alternative is set to something else
  - it is not easy for me to ask users to test things with an
	alternative jvm
  I could invent some wrapper script that looks for gij first then
  j2sdk, and have an option -jvm=gij to override it, but I'm thinking
  there's got to be a better, more standard way. This has probably been
  discussed before, but I was too bust to follow the long threads at the
  time. Could you possibly say what the results of those discussions
  were, or suggest how to handle this issue?

2)
 bug #227603 - is this a jvm bug?
