Cool, thanks for the tips, everybody! :)
I'll work on the package and fix it soon! Integrating the ant build process seems interesting too, even if i don't know why somebody should
build a java package from source (without changing it before)? There
probably won't be a speed improvement... ;)

Hi,
This package can't be in main, since the source code is not included (at least not extracted). Even if it was correctly included and used to build the JAR,
Does it need to be extracted? The problem with java source packages are usually, that they are not a least conform with the format which dpkg-source likes, so almost ever java package I've seen (including my own...) has a 'uncompress-stamp' in debian/rules and justs puts the upstream file somwhere and and build a orig.tar.gz by hand.
Well, I don't know very much about Debian packaging at all, but I packaged one Java program (which is using j2sdk1.4.*). It builds itself using dpkg-buildpackage or apt-get -b source so feel free to have a look at it. (Most of it I learned from the ant package, so having a look at it would be a good thing.)

Beware, it won't be online too long the next time (I'll be moving probably, and so is the server).
