Ok this shounds good, but some things before I'll add it to the policy. * Should we have a java2-compiler too? * The java-virtual-machine should only be provided by the java2 virtual machine if it is (completely?) backwards compatible. * Should we have a java1-virtual-machine? Well that is just some questions. I'll add it to the (proposed-)policy when I got some consensus about it and when I have had the time to fiddle with the cvs archive for the policy. I have not yet updated it since I took over the maintenance. :) Regards, // Ola > *nod*.
