<br>Chapter 4 - Status of Java in Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (Sarge)

<h2><a name="s4.1"></a>4.1 Are there many changes?</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Yes, quite some. There have been very interesting developments in Debian Java
|
||
lately. Slowly, there seem be developed a set of Debian tools to deal with
|
||
maintaining Debian package of Java applications and libraries. At this moment,
|
||
there only seems to be dh_javadoc, which is a tool in the <code>gjdoc</code>
|
||
package. However, people spoke about other tools on the debian-java mailing
|
||
list in 2003.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
In addition to this, <code>ant</code> has found its way into main, paving to
|
||
way for other packages to enter main.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
And the <code>eclipse</code> seems to get rather stable. Early August 2003,
|
||
the gcj team even was able to compile the IDE to native code, using only minor
|
||
modifications.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
It is quite useful to first browse the section on Java in Debian GNU/Linux
|
||
Woody (since those in woody are also in later releases, see <a
|
||
href="ch-debian-java-woody.html">Status of Java in Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
|
||
(Woody), Chapter 3</a>), but there are somes changes. Instead of listing all
|
||
the packages again, this section will list only changes:

<ul>

||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<code>kaffe</code> Release 1.1.3 can run much more software than 1.0.5 in woody
