So classpath & libgjc *together* provide java1-runtime?
Not really. The two projects are separate, but they are both GNU projects, and share a lot of code. However, libgcj does not "use" or "depend" on classpath as a separate package. They have separate CVS repositories and independent releases. But while most Java classes have the same source in both collections, some classes are different. The ClassPath project is meant to provide Free implementation of Java classes for use by multiple Java implementations. libgcj sometimes uses different implementations, especially when there is native code, for which GCJ prefers CNI over JNI.
Bottom line: Classpath is "upstream" to libgcj, but from a Debian packaging point of view there is no relationship. -- --Per Bothner [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bothner.com/per/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
