Re: Jessie release notes for the Java packages

Re: maven-debian-helper to maven3

I added another commit on the maven3 branch that will generate plugin and group metadata when copying the repo. It will ignore any existing metadata, i.e. the bits you added to maven-javadoc-plugin. We should now be able to rebuild maven-debian-helper package and test it against all packages that u

Getting my feet wet with Java and Debian

Hi. Having packaged a lot of things on Debian, I would like to start packaging some Java-related packages and, from what I see, the Java ecosystem (and other JVM related languages, like Clojure and Scala) is considerably different from that of C/C++, starting with the tools and the way that they m
