Hello,

I've started packaging the next version of FreeMind and, despite my lack of Java knowledge, I've noticed that the new version is coming with quite a lot of standard Java libraries (i.e. libraries already packaged elsewhere in Debian), roughly libcommons-lang-java, librelaxng-datatype-java, libjaxp1.2-java, libbatik-java and possibly a few more. That bloats the whole thing a bit, and is just not 'elegant'.

So, I thought about replacing these bloating libraries through dependencies. Could someone give me a kickstart and tell me if it's feasible and what would be the best method to go further; I'm technical but Java is not my strength.

The packages can be found there:

    deb http://eric.lavar.de/comp/linux/debian/ experimental/
    deb-src http://eric.lavar.de/comp/linux/debian/ experimental/

freemind        0.7.9.rc1-2
freemind-browser        0.7.9.rc1-2
freemind-plugins-help   0.7.9.rc1-2
freemind-plugins-svg    0.7.9.rc1-2
(especially freemind and freemind-plugins-svg)

Thanks, Eric

PS: unrelated feedback is welcomed as well...
