We just have to agree on the text (native speakers, please step forward :)): Proposal: News from the Debian Java Team Jessie ships with 799 source packages (updated 442 [1], new +130 since Wheezy) which will be maintained by the Java Team. Noteable changes: * OpenJDK 7 is the new supported default Java runtime. * OpenJDK 8 will be available from jessie-backports. * Tomcat 7 and Tomcat 8 are supported and Tomcat 6 was removed. * New developer tools including VisualVM, the Dynamic Code Evolution VM (openjdk-7-jre-dcevm), Gradle, eclipse-wtp-webtools and more. * Inclusion of androidsdk-tools (link: https://packages.debian.org/source/jessie/androidsdk-tools) * Removal of JBoss. [1] I counted all cyan (same version as in stable) and green (same version in oldstable and stable) packages from [2] and subtracted the number from 799 minus all new packages.
