Interesting thread... I am a long time Debian user (now mostly
indirectly via Ubuntu) and contributed small patches here and there in
the past... I have unfortunately little time for packaging nowadays,
as my Open Source work (CDK.sf.net, Bioclipse.net mostly) is eating up
all my time.
Now, Bioclipse is an RCP application too, so this thread has my strong
interest, as at least I like to learn what would need to be done to
get Bioclipse packaged...

Where can I find information on what exactly defines a 'database
adapter' (you're not referring to e.g. the MySQL driver, are you?),
and a adapter-jar?

So, metadata must be injected into the third party libs too? So, for
the elixis example, into the ch.rgw.utility jar too?
Thanx,
