My suggestion would be to look at how Mandriva packages are done, as we
will probably initially follow their java policy.
(note that the mandriva java packages do not have the gcj AOT binaries,
and they are compiled with openjdk on archs were openjdk is available)

I'm not saying that a completely new java packaging policy is not needed
(it is), though, so if the java developers have the resources to convert
all imported java packages to a completely new policy, I'm all for it :)

There are around 400 java packages in Mandriva, though I hope we don't
need to import all of them (i.e. hopefully many are unused/old).
