how does this compare to the packages started by Michael?

It's there for a reason. I think your approach makes it difficult to update the package in the distribution. Please make sure that your package does build on platforms like mips, powerpc and sparc as well. > * GCJ dropped, builds/uses openjdk-6 now which means no bizarre > random segfaults all over the place, undoubtedly a good thing :-) No, it's bad for all those platforms which don't have a JIT. It's a different (good) thing to build with OpenJDK, but don't drop the -gcj packages. > * The SWT .so files are built from source.
