Hi, I would recommend asking in debian-j...@lists.debian.org. :) >From memory, you need a java specific helper tool for these. Which one you need depends on the exact package and I am not entirely sure that all build systems have support. Which leads us back to my recommendation of asking the debian-java team. :) Thanks, ~Niels
