Dear Colin,
> I intend to package javawrapper.

> Package: javawrapper
> Version: 1.0-1
> Section: utils
> Priority: optional
> Description: A wrapper for kernel execution of Java programs
> javawrapper uses the binfmt_misc feature of newer Linux kernels to execute a
> Java class file directly simply by supplying its filename on the command
> line like a normal executable. It also correctly handles classes contained
> in packages.
>
> I'm also the upstream maintainer for this package, and the source is
> already being distributed in the kernel documentation tree.

I will be happy to sponsor javawrapper that I have used and installed
locally.
The challenge, as I see it, is to write an /etc/init.d/javawrapper script
that ensures that binfmt_misc is installed and registers/unregisters
javawrapper with the kernel.
Sincerely,
Kristoffer
