Package: libsvn-javahl
Severity: serious
Justification: Java policy 2.4

Hi,

According to the current java policy, section 2.4:

   "Java libraries packages must be named libXXX[version]-java (without
   the brackets), where the version part is optional and should  only
   contain the necessary part. The version part should only be used to
   avoid naming collisions. The XXX part is the actual package name used
   in the text below.

   "Their classes must be in jar archive(s) in the directory
   /usr/share/java, with the name
   packagename[-extraname]-fullversion.jar. The extraname is optional
   and used internally within the package to separate the different jars
   provided by the package. The fullversion is the version of that jar
   file. In some cases that is not the same as the package version."

In other words, if distributing the jar 'svn-javahl.jar', the package
should be named 'libsvn-javahl-java'. Though I can't help but wondering
about the value of the javahl part of the package name.

cheers,
Charles
