-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello James,
The new behaviour of maven-debian-helper seems more correct. I think that for most cases, you explicitely add --java-lib option to publish your jar in /usr/share/java, but there are cases where a jar is private, for example Ant or Eclipse plugins. In such cases, you can create a link to a custom location (with the third argument to mh_installjar) or install the jar in that custom location (using - --dest-jar=<path>) and let mh_installjar create a link for the jar in the Maven repository. Please file bug reports for those packages which are broken by this change, I tried to fix such packages some time ago but there are still some problems in packages I don't know.
