Bug#398448: ITP: openjdk-compiler -- sun java compiler, javac
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hi
I intend to package openjdk-compiler (normally called javac) that
was released today by Sun as GPL software.
Name: openjdk-compiler
URL: https://openjdk.dev.java.net/compiler/
License: GPL with CLASSPATH exception, see text below
Description: Sun Java compiler
I have not yet determined what software that is needed in order
to compile this package. It may need a java virtual machine
or java classes. The java virtual machine is released under GPL
but the classes has not been released yet.
Help, name suggestions etc is appriciated. If this seems to be a
too big job, then I'll consider someone else to co-maintain, maintain
or group maintain by the java team.
