I think the java policy should, in addition to specifying the use of
java-virtual-machine, java-compler and java{1,}-runtime, also recommend
the use of the virtual packages "jar" and "javadoc" to ensure a package
that provides the alternatives /usr/bin/jar and /usr/bin/javadoc is
installed.Without such virtual packages, a build-dependancy on java-compiler and java1-runtime does not ensure the existance of either of those programs (for example, they can be satisfied by jikes-classpath and classpath). Debian policy says there has to be consensus on any virtual package that is intended to be used by many packages of from different sources, so I think java-policy and the java- is the place to decide on these. - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux ivanhoe.blckknght.org 2.4.19-local #1 Mon Sep 9 00:10:27 EDT = 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=3Den_US, LC_CTYPE=3D - -- no debconf information -- Steven Barker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Swap read error.
