Wondeful! Looks great. Some comments. "Main, contrib or non-free": - orp is another free JVM in main; this should be added to the list. - guavac does not exist in unstable; note that jikes claims to replace it. Will guavac be released with woody? At any rate, since it's no longer in unstable, I suggest this be removed from the list of free compilers. "Java programs": - More of a question than a comment. This section says that apps *must* put their classes in /usr/share/java. Is this true even for apps that should never share their classes (such as apps whose classes are all in the default package)? And regarding the proposed JVM registry, what is to become of this proposal? I believe the problems it addresses are serious, and the only way it will resolve them is if the JVMs actually register themselves, which pretty much means the JVM registry would have to be in policy. If the proposed registry is considered good enough for this (the specs I mailed out were quite precise as far as the registry itself goes) then I'll have a go at implementing some of these helper scripts. But I'm not prepared to spend the time doing it if I receive the same reaction as I did for the previous sets of scripts I posted to address the same problem, which was complete apathy from all but about two people. :) Ben. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
