IMO thats a wishlist bug. As long as I don't think that a package can enter main (-> is *running* with free environment), its up to the packager to package his package. Changing it will not be a big problem, as there are at least two compielers (eclipse internal and jikes), which will probably compile every java programm 'out of the box'. 'running in main' is probably another question... >> > I haven't discussed the question of whether it is correct for a program >> > that can be compiled with free software but not run with free software >> > to go into main. >> It is not. >Agreed. BTW, the debian build deamons won't be able to make it >anyway... which is required to enter main, or not? I think its the other way round: YOu go into main and have the buildd. Then you have to make sure that they are building your package. You will get a grave bugreport when your package isn't compiling (not only from the buildd).
