Re: Setup a free java development environment

[Eric Lavarde <Eric.Lavarde@bawue.de>]

Would this is be a valid idea to add a page under 
http://java.debian.net/index.php/MovingJavaToMain
addressing this topic? This might be moved to a "real" documentation 
once it is somehow finalized...

I could try to do a start but I would, obviously, need support and 
review from this list.
