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