Help on java packaging
Hi all,
I started packaging GIS (Geographical Information Systems) Software for
the Debian GIS project. As there are no people with good java packaging
experience I would like to ask if someone from the debian java packaging
project could have a look at my packages.
The packages are:
jts - java topology suite
A java library for geographical data processing
jama - java matrix library
jump - java unified mapping platfrom
The "end user" GIS product
jts and jama are dependencies for jump and compiled with kaffe, so they
could go into main. jump at the moment requires jdk1.4 for compilation
so it goes into contrib.
I checked classpath cvs and all (expect one) compilation errors are now
implemented in cvs - so there is a good change jump can go into main as
well if at some time a new kaffe package with the cvs classpath changes
gets uploaded.
I have also other packages in preparation but first I want to get some
comments if the packaging is ok this way. I used cdbs as I saw in
several other java packages. The javadoc is generated via gjdoc with a
method I found through google posted somewhere by arnaud.
You can find the source at:

Sorry not apt-gettable !
I you will find the packages ok - I would also like to join pkg-java
project. I am not a DD and have currently not the time to start the new
maintainer process. But I have enough time to maintain my packages and
help out with others - but would need a sponsor !
Thanks,
Wolfgang
PS: jts and jump are GPL - but jama is some sort of public domain. I
don't know if it can go into main. Comments are welcome !
