Let's wait until the changes to make jclic totally able to compile only using sun java clases. Then I'll begin to work deeper in the package and ping you. By the way, I already packaged it for LinEx (our Extremadura Debian based distribution) some years ago, but doing it from the binaries, not from the sources, so part of the work is already done. Thanks for your offer and regards. José L.
