My suggestion would be to look at how Mandriva packages are done, as we<br>
will probably initially follow their java policy.<br>
(note that the mandriva java packages do not have the gcj AOT binaries,<br>
and they are compiled with openjdk on archs were openjdk is available)<br>
<br>
I'm not saying that a completely new java packaging policy is not needed<br>
(it is), though, so if the java developers have the resources to convert<br>
all imported java packages to a completely new policy, I'm all for it :)<br>
<br>
There are around 400 java packages in Mandriva, though I hope we don't<br>
need to import all of them (i.e. hopefully many are unused/old).<br>

I would suggest to drop the whole gcj packages, but even it's unmaintained now by upstream, there are a few programs depending on it (like a few packages of ant i think)<div>
But writing a policy about the openjdk would be the right thing now because we will integrate it, it's also in mandriva but without a policy or Remy didn't find one for that.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Mit freundlichen Grüßen<br>
