It should be easy to patch the sources to exclude these sources. By the way, we currently do not run tests. Now may be good time to enable them. Onkar Hello, folks. I could not run jmeter using gcj, after rebuilding jcharts with a simple change in the Depends to allow the removal of openjdk. I don't think jcharts is to blame here. I've got a problem with awt gtk, with a division by zero. Anyway, thanks for investigating this. I may be reporting another bug regarding this division by zero to the proper package as soon as I have a chance to investigate it. Shall we change the severity of the bug to wishlist?

I am not sure libjcharts-java is headless, but this should also be considered. Given that this source package only generates a single library package which doesn't appear that it's used as a stand-alone app (I may be incorrect on that, but I didn't see anything about it on the jCharts site), there needn't be a runtime JRE dependency at all. Any objections to removing the JRE from Depends completely? IIRC, jcharts uses some Sun specific APIs which are only available in Sun JRE and OpenJDK JRE. If this isn't the case then the restricted dependencies is a packaging mistake on my part. Please feel free to remove JRE dependency after verification.

Onkar Hi Onkar, That would be a good reason for the runtime dependency. :) Since I don't have any sort of a comprehensive test suite for jcharts and you have already looked at the issue at least once when packaging it initially, I think it's best to leave the package as is for the short term. Thadeu, have you tested jcharts with gcj? If so, do you have an idea of how much coverage that testing provides?

Thadeu, have you tested jcharts with gcj? If so, do you have an idea of how much coverage that testing provides? Thank you, tony I am a newbie when it comes to Java. But I may run some tests here. One of the tests I could make is running jmeter, which is the software I am currently using. If it does generate the graphics we need, that would be OK for us. But I agree that would not be complete coverage. Is running the test suites in the package enough?
