Yes. Making the dependencies finer-grained allows a package requiring SWT/GTK to avoid installing Gnome and Mozilla, which are both large, extraneous packages. A HelloWorld/SWT program has no reason to depend on Mozilla. I wouldn't split the jar library. Leave it up to the package depending on the -java package to also depend on the correct -jni packages. Cheers, Shaun
