I'm a bit surprised that you as a Debian developer propose to use the Oracle JDK. However it is not the first time you are doing that, after complaining about OpenJDK-6 backporting, and then doing nothing about it. With this kind of attitude about not supporting OpenJDK in any form, we are forced to drop Java from Debian at some point, because we will not be able build packages anymore. Is this really what you want? Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
