Java policy

[Ola Lundqvist <opal@debian.org>]

Hi

Now when woody is released I would like to propose that the
proposed java policy will be official.

Therefore I would like to have comments on it here so things
can be discussed. If you have a additional proposal please
also file a bug against java-common so I can remember it.

There are some things that might want to be added before it
becomes truly official.

See the policy at:
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/

* gcj and how to handle that (should it be mentioned at all?).
* should all virtual machines that provides a java2 virtual machine
  also provide a 'java2' command (not 'java').
* How to handle jar dependencies? Should there be some kind of
  mechanism for that?

Best regards,

// Ola

PS. Please continue this thread on debian-policy@l.d.o
and not just on debian-java@l.d.o.
DS.
