Hi, I've merged my version with the existing work and commited it to pkg-java's svn repo. Please take a look at it. At this point, the package builds and it is lintian-clean. I'd be very interested in any contructive feedback you may have. Best wishes, Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
