Package: java-common
Version: 0.16
Severity: wishlist

I think the java policy should, in addition to specifying the use of
java-virtual-machine, java-compler and java{1,}-runtime, also recommend
the use of the virtual packages "jar" and "javadoc" to ensure a package
that provides the alternatives /usr/bin/jar and /usr/bin/javadoc is
installed.

Without such virtual packages, a build-dependancy on java-compiler and
java1-runtime does not ensure the existance of either of those programs
(for example, they can be satisfied by jikes-classpath and classpath).

Debian policy says there has to be consensus on any virtual package that
is intended to be used by many packages of from different sources, so I
think java-policy and the java- is the place to decide on these.

Hi

I am closing this policy change proposal; it is marked as wontfix and a
conflicting policy change has been accepted.

Should you believe that this proposal is still relevant and superior to
the conflicting policy change, please do not hesitate to reopen this bug.
