You'll have to tweak several of the files under debian/, including certainly changelog, copyright and control, probably also including sommme install files. > My blocking problem is I don't see where/how to specify source files are in > ISO-8859-1 I thought Java files were always utf8? > Also am I on the good path ?

Well, it should be easy to do with jh_build, but there's nothing stopping you writing a build.xml for ant - dh7 should pick that up automatically too.
