Hi,
if it is feasible without too much hassle, I am interested in
packaging filius [1], a (simple) network simulator for education and
schools. There is already a RFP [2], but before switching that one to
an ITP, I tried to get a very first proof of concept.
I am new to packaging java applications and after learning a bit
about it from the Debian wiki, I started with 'mh_make'. After
installing some more dependencies, it looks like most of them are
already available. However, I got stuck with htmlparser [3], which
does not supply the maven meta data in '/usr/share/maven-repo'.
I tried patching 'pom.xml' like:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.htmlparser</groupId>
<artifactId>htmlparser</artifactId>
<version>{htmlparser.version}</version>
+ <scope>system</scope>
+ <systemPath>/usr/share/java/htmlparser.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
but this seems not to work:
[ERROR]
/tmp/packaging/filius-master/src/main/java/filius/gui/anwendungssicht/GUIApplicationWebBrowserWindow.java:[51,22]
package org.htmlparser does not exist
Any ideas what's the culprit? Are there better ways to give it a try?
Any help/hint is appreciated.
Best regards,
Andi
