Hi Eric,

Do you _add_ IBM's home directory to JAVA_HOME_DIRS in rules +
corresponding build dependency, or replace it?
Background of my question: I know that it's not considered good practice
to have alternative build dependencies, but on the other hand:
- we will have tested both alternatives
- it's a bit cumbersome if we both need to switch JDK back and forth in
debian/{rules,control}
I don't think it's a problem in our case because arches are differents. My way to do that is to add ibm jdk in build dep and add ibm's java_home in debian/rules (in the latest position). So it'll not be a problem for those who want to build it on x86. Cheers, -- Arnaud Vandyck
