Debian Java FAQ.
<br>Chapter 11 - Java Policy
</h1>
<hr>
<hr>
<h2><a name="s11.1"></a>11.1 Is there a Java policy for Debian?</h2>
<p>
It is still in the works. The current policy addresses <em>some</em> of the
problems. It has not been officially released. You can find it at <code><a
href="http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/">http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/</a></code>.
The Java Policy can also be found in the <code>java-common</code> package. You
might want to also take a look at the <code><a
href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianJavaPackaging">Common Java
Packaging</a></code> entry in the Debian wiki.
</p>
<hr>
<h2><a name="s11.2"></a>11.2 Are there holes in the Java Policy?</h2>
<p>
Yes, some until under discussion. Please check out the <code><a
href="http://bugs.debian.org/java-common">bugs against the java-common
package</a></code>. Thus it is <em>very</em> inconvenient to use several
compilers of virtual machines since there is not one CLASSPATH setting for all
of them.
