Maurizio> OK, I'll talk with him in order to find a solution (this Maurizio> package is his or mine?) bye Please note that there are already .debs for J2SE and optional packages, see the debian directory on our mirrors and use an apt line like: deb ftp://ftp.tux.org/java/debian woody non-free I've asked Stephen Zander to take over maintainership of these packages as I am no official debian developer. Stephen also is on the Blackdown team (ie. he has signed an NDA-like sublicense). Technically the packages go into Debian non-free now but I'll wait till we've worked out an amendment to the license with Sun which explicitly states the legality of this.
