I did package hadoop 2.6 a few years ago if someone wants to continue the work [1]. That was a naïve attempt to update the solr package, but the size of the beast dissuaded me to upload it (and I had enough of my plate at this time with the JDK upgrades). > Why don't we just create more or less official (even though not really > perfect) Debian packages for netbeans, eclipse, solr, hadoop, etc. by > using tools like jdeb [1] for ant and maven projects or > gradle-ospackage-plugin for gradle [2]. I fully share Markus' analysis. Packaging these huge projects isn't viable without more regular, dedicated, contributors. For client side applications such as Netbeans or Eclipse I tend to think the community would be better served with flatpak packages (it would be nice to have a pure Java toolchain generating these packages), and for complex server side applications a .deb package simply generated by jdeb would be fine.
