Almost none:
If we upload it (or it successor), it will go to contrib due to
unfreeness of JDKs. If Sun derived JDKs switch to a Licence, we can
use in main, it will be packaged and uploaded to main and mpkg-j2s
Hi java maintainers,
Since version 1.5.3-2, the package ant depends on jython and antlr. The
justification was:
* Depend on the previously suggested packages jython and antlr to avoid
dangling symlinks in /usr/share/ant/lib
The Debian policy, section 7.2, says:

There is a problem with all this: The ant package has one big jar for
all available tasks (the optional.jar has all the 'Task's, the
junit, jython and so are only called from that task definitions).
You mean that optional.jar has specific knowledge about jython?
This

I'm not sure about jython (haven't looked), but optional.jar has the
glue for junit (->junit task). Junit knows nothing about ant.

make-j2sdk itself depends on having non-free stuff installed? I thought
it was just a little script to create a .deb from a Sun provided SDK.

I think the dependency on junit sort of makes sense since it can be
considered a basic tool for java developers. The same cannot be said of
jython and antlr.

If you don't have the sdk, it is useless. Therefore, it depends on
non-free software and d

On the other hand, having jython depend on (or recommend or suggest) ant
is quite nonsensical as well, since ant is not really a to
On the other hand, having jython depend on (or recommend or suggest) ant
is quite nonsensical as well, since ant is not really a tool for script
writers - in fact jython is not enhanced by ant at all.
The way I see things, it is: ant provides a different interface to call
the jython interpreter.

Ok, after some more thought I've finaly understood, why there were
'dangling symlinks'. The jython.jar had to be symlinked into
/usr/share/ant/libs too.

It depends on a *-bin download, which is unfree (and not even
packaged). In general, install for unfree things ar ein
Let me preface this by stating that I know very little about ant, and I
have no idea how ant specifically interacts with jython.
Jython itself is an implementation of the python scripting language.
The python package does not suggest every package that uses python
scripting, nor does it suggest e
