--- Begin Message ---Package: java-package Version: 0.18 Severity: wishlist Rather than take a guess from the filename and size of the archive, why not extract the archive and then run "java -version" from the extracted files and parse the result? Surely that would be more reliable, although it would require that the system building the package could run the version of Java being packaged... -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8.1-paobu Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages java-package depends on: ii debhelper 4.2.28 helper programs for debian/rules -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---tags 288986 wontfix stop Parsing the output of 'java -version' is actually a more brittle solution than the way it is currently handled; to see just how dynamic the output can be, try IBM, BEA, and Sun 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 JREs and compare the results.
