I personally have problems with Java because of the confusion of the different
SDKs and dependency issues. That's why I had trouble to sponsor this package.
What could be of help here?
1. Find a Debian maintainer who has more Java experience than me.
(Asking on debian-java list might be a good idea.)
2. Find a replacement for Sun SDK. I have heard that people on
debian-java list know certain tricks and solutions and would
be helpful.
3. Educate upstream authors about free Java implementations.
I guess Stefen could need some help here. The "it works for me state" leaves
the question for him, why he should try hard to make it work for others
(= doing the things I suggested above). So I would be very glad if someone
could help Stefen to finally move this stuff to the Debian mirror.
Kind regards
Andreas.
