Re: Best practice for Java?

[Eric Lavarde <Eric@Lavar.de>]

Hi,

here some answers, if you have some more questions, the 
debian-java@lists.debian.org mailing list might be a better place, 
especially if you plan to make your application with a free alternative 
of Java (i.e. not Sun's and not Blackdown's).

There is a big effort to get freed Java packages, documented under 
http://java.debian.net/.
Else, the java-package package allows you to create your own little Java 
package.
