hehe ;-) I should retry gjdoc with sablevm ;-)

No virtual package, you are right. I thought you could just provide
libgnujaxp-java, but it's impossible because sablevm (even if gnujaxp
*is* in the classlibs) will not install /usr/share/java/gnujaxp.jar.

Soory.

You are right. But I think integrating gnujaxp in sablevm could be a
good thing to sablevm in general...
