I haven't checked the exact current situation but based on the debian-java posts the situation is such that Ant is almost ready to go into main. After Ant the next candidates are parts of Eclipse and Tomcat. I don't know the status of Jetty. At the moment trying to get Tomcat or Jetty to run on say Kaffe is a non-trivial task (read: I spent a few hours last weekend trying with no success on Tomcat) but - from what I've heard - possible. Basically the parts are there (Kaffe and Classpath are mature enough to run at least Ant and Tomcat) but the conversion is not trivial. -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer *
