java-package ------------ This package can be used to build Debian packages for various non-free external Java binary distributions. Please note that Debian recommends the use of openjdk-6-jdk/openjdk-6-jre or openjdk-7-jdk/openjdk-7-jre. It includes the 'make-jpkg' command to do this, see 'man make-jpkg' for more information about building java packages. Typical usage consists in - downloading one of the java binary archive listed below - invoking make-jpkg to build a Debian package from the downloaded archive - installing the generated package Supported java binary distributions currently include: * Oracle (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads) : - The J2SE Development Kit (JDK), version 6 and 7 - The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE), version 6 and 7 - The J2SE API Javadoc, version 6 and 7 (Choose tar.gz archives or self-extracting archives, do _not_ choose the RPM!) All other previously supported jvm (Blackdown, IBM, ..) have been removed and will only be added back on users demand. -- Cédric Pineau Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:42:13 +0100
