Please file a bug.

Ideally you shouldn't refer to source code of libraries for writing your app. You should refer javadoc of the library. In any case it is as easy as 'apt-get source <packagename>'. IMHO, there should not be a separate -dev package containing source code. Cheers, Onkar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
