Hello, <background> I'm a java developer who recently switched over to debian from rh. I'm running unstable/woody. Most of my java vms that had run fine on rh 6.2 break on debian because of libraries compiled under. So I hooked into blackdown's deb packages for woody via apt (apt's great!). I haven't run anything yet but it's all installed. </background>
<questions> I use netbeans ide and it's looking for an environment variable that points to the base directory of the jdk. But with the deb package install is there a single directory root that this corresponds to? Is there a paper somewhere on the web on rolled into doc that describes how java/jar/class files fit into debian/linux file system? We (Census/CDC distributed data project)use ANT for a standardized build and TOMCAT for our reference implementation (servlet 2.2 container). I'ld like to see these become packages. There are quite a few packages I'ld like that require "httpd" but I don't want to load apache (or boa or ...) if I'm really wanting TOMCAT (or Jetty...). Is there someone working on turning these (TOMCAT, ANT, etc.) into packages and/or can I pitch in to make this happen? </questions> Thanks for help, Heitzso [EMAIL PROTECTED]
