<br>Chapter 12 - Other Java alternatives for Debian
|

</h1>
|

|
||
<hr>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
If the Java packages provided in Debian are not sufficient for your needs you
|
||
might need to take a look at other alternatives. Please understand that these
|
||
alternatives are not supported by the Debian project directly, you might get
|
||
help, however, from the debian-java mailing list if you encounter issues with
|
||
them.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Some of the alternatives presented use Debian packages which is convenient,
|
||
since the user/administrator does not need to care on installation issues.
|
||
However, mixing packages that come from a source which is not the Debian
|
||
project might cause conflicts with your installation some times. Of course,
|
||
Debian tries to integrate as many free software efforts as possible, so some of
|
||
the alternatives described below might (if license permits) be included in
|
||
Debian in the near future.
