shouldn't we switch to default-jdk for this package? Can you try that,
please? Otherwise it looks good.
Cheers,
Torsten

I did that with some other minor changes, and have uploaded the package.
Thanks,

Thanks a lot. Yet, I think that lib*-java aren't supposed to Depend on
a jre anyways, so default-jre | ... could be removed from Depends, right
?

I've made a commit to remove default-jre | java5-runtime from Depends, I
hope this gets uploaded soon, especially that 3.0-4 release had a typo
in the Depends field: deafult-jre instead of default-jre

Ahmed, thanks for fixing the package. But, I think library packages
should at least depend on the -jre-headless package. AFAIK, that has
been the general practice with other library packages in Debian.
Thanks,
Varun

I've just checked, some java library packages indeed do depend on
-jre-headless, and some do not depend on any jre package at all.
Anyways, if I recall correctly, Matthew Johnson once told me (when we
were discussing a patch for jh_depends) that java libraries aren't
supposed to depend on any jre, it is the java apps.

It seems like it could depend on the library package. If it's strictly a
library, meaning it doesn't have any main() methods lurking about that are
useful to users, then the guideline should be not to depend on a JRE package. I
suppose there are library packages out there that contain classes you might want
to invoke directly with a JRE, but I imagine they would the exception. (And in
any event, I think this would be a corner case - i.e. how often would a user or
developer be loading library packages without having a JRE installed?)
So a general rule of not depending on a JRE package seems like a good approach.
It's one less thing that has to change if the virtual JRE package name changes,
and that's across all of the library packages.
Regards,
Tony
