I've had a look at this bug and I thing we should not fource a
specific javac or java at our users. If they don't want to download a
BD JDK, then this should be made possible.
IMO java on debian needs some helper programms:
* a skript, which selects a jdk/JVM based on
1. JAVA_HOME
2. requirements to the JVM Version
3. some 'values' for 'completenes of API, etc'
4 /usr/bin/java
Maybe this should also be supported by virtual packages, which are
telling something about the 'API Completenes' or 'API Level'.
java-virtual-machine or java2-runtime is IMO not enough.
* A skript which installs *any* jdk/jre-bin properly (mpkg-j2sdk is a
start, but it doesn't work with IBM SDK1.4), including
mozilla-plugins and so on. This should be properly advertiesed in
FAQ, README, Mozilla Maintainer, etc
* A system to get a classpath at runtime, similar to shlibs files at
compiletime (if I haven't understood something wrong there).
