I just noticed there's not been any updates to java-package either in Debian or the svn tree, since late last year.
Meanwhile, bugs are accumulating in the BTS, and neither the current IBM Java 5 release nor Java 6 prerelease are supported, although for Java5 it looks like a simple renaming is all that's needed. Is the issue just that java-package is no longer interested to the original maintainers, with the admission of Sun's JDK/JRE to non-free? Or is it felt that the Java runtimes, sdks and classes in the archive are now good enough that even platforms without a Sun JDK/JRE are sufficiently supported? If it's the former, I'd be willing to put some time into updating java-package, as long as it's not going to simply languish as a patch in the BTS... (If it's the latter, I'd be interested to know if anyone's run up ColdFusion MX J2EE with one of the free JVMs on tomcat5.5? It's giving me some insolence at the moment. ^_^) Feel free to CC me, I'm not subscribed to this list. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, B.Sc, LPI, MCSE On-hiatus Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
