Debian Java FAQ.
<br>Chapter 2 - Status of Java in Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (Lenny)
</h1>

<h2><a name="s2.1"></a>2.1 What is new in Lenny?</h2>
<p>
The <em>Lenny</em> release was the first one to provide Sun's OpenJDK
environment (see <a href="ch4.html#s-openjdk">Sun's OpenJDK, Section
4.3.2</a>). Lenny ships OpenJDK 6 with the IcedTea patches in version 1.1.
Lenny updated GCJ to the new major version 4.3 and Ant to version 1.7. It
provides Maven 2.0 but Maven cannot yet be used to build official Debian
packages because it downloads random binaries from its central repository
during build time. The java-common package provides new meta packages
default-jdk and default-jre which declare dependencies to the appropriate gcj
and gij packages. The new source package javatools contains useful helper
tools for packaging Java software for Debian.
</p>
<p>
Thanks to the development that happened in gcj and classpath and thanks to the
availability of openjdk many Java packages could be moved from contrib to main.
</p>
<p>
There are two new source packages glassfish and jbossas4 but they build only
some core libraries and do not work as full JEE application servers yet. The
main reason is that many free Java libraries are not yet packaged for Debian
but are needed as (build) dependencies. But at least there is Hibernate 3
available in the contrib component.
