What about leveraging the Maven infrastructure and downloading the dependencies directly from the central Maven repository (or a Debian operated mirror) instead of repackaging every single jar into it's own deb file (as long as it's open source of course) ? Let say I'm building the package for NetClipse IDEA, the next big Java IDE, and it depends on Commons Collections 10. I would declare a dependency in the control file that might look like this: Depends: maven:org.apache.commons:commons-collections (>=10) And the dependency would be downloaded and installed by apt. Just a wild dream... Emmanuel Bourg
