Re: Package creation - help needed !

[François BILLIOUD <f.billioud@gmail.com>]

Trying here, but it's a lot of information to assimilate.

First, I see that there are thousands of ways to do it. It is a Java program that uses Maven. The source is stored on GitHub. So if I understand correctly, I can use either javahelper, or maven-debian-helper, or edit my pom to use a plugin like jdeb, or maybe use a makefile. Could you direct me to the most fitting solution ? The more I read, the more I loose myself...

Thank you

Seeing as you want to make a java package, this page is a good place to
