Billy Biggs, an SWT developer, is working on producing a separate SWT source package. 2005/9/14, Billy Biggs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I'm dorking away at the autoconf'ed SWT download now. It's going > well, won't be hard, etc etc. I did take a look at the SWT package of > 3.1 and have a bunch of quick comments. When this work is complete and SWT is its own package, I believe it would be best to maintain SWT in its own proper Debian source package. If you would like to expand on the Debian Java Policy violations, I would be happy to hear them. Cheers, Shaun
