Hi,

I haven't seen anybody answering, so I take a pick.

 Hello,
 
 I've uploaded my very first package yesterday (simple Java library, 
 waiting for a sponsor now...) but I'm not sure it conforms all related 
 policies:
 - http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
 - http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/
 - anything else out there?
http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/ and the Hints link.
check http://wiki.debian.org/ and search for java (don't expect wonders 
here).

 
 I was trying to google some tutorials about maintaining Java libraries 
 and applications in Debian/Ubuntu, but haven't found anything at all...
Java packages are not really different from normal one, once you've 
learned the Java policy.

 
 Could you recommend me some good example from existing Debian packages 
 to learn from please? One for Java library and one for Java application 
 if possible...
You could have a look at simplyhtml (application) and libjibx-java 
(lib), I packaged them rather recently so I possibly didn't make the 
same errors as when I started :-)

 
 I'd like to learn how to make top quality packages, don't want start 
 producing some mess :)
I don't know if my packages are top quality, but they're coming through 
ftp-master...

 
 Thanks a lot.
Hope this helps,
Eric
