The problem is that Jetty depends on (and uses) libtomcat5.5-java. The Tomcat source uses (among other Java5 features) generics. That is the reason wht this class file is only for Java5 and the reason why jetty in Debian needs Java5 too. This differs from the download package of Jetty which runs on older versions of Java as well. I see two options: 1) Make it clear that a java2-runtime is not enough 2) Decouple jetty from tomcat and distribute the complete jetty package instead. (maybe even conflict with tomcat? Why would you want two servlet engines on the same machine?) Unfortunately we have currently no way to tell a package that is needs Java5 or newer stuff. You are right in saying that Debian now mainly supports Java5/6 on all platforms. arm is a special case here as our main runtime (GCJ) doesnt really work there due to several problems. What about using jamvm or cacao? These support java 5 stuff too and unline GCJ they work on arm. Of course, the last alternative is to keep it as as, as only java1.5/1.6 and gcj are officially in Debian anyway. If this is the case, please feel free to close this report. I tend to keep this bug open but tag it 'wontfix'. I will need to think some days about this.

The bug reporter is a very special situation as we wants to run jetty on an arm architecture which is not supported by SUN nor by GCJ. After all, java was only really open sourced from 1.5. Java is really open sourced from 7. Java 5 and 6 are still closed source and probably ever will be.
