Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-08-12 Severity: wishlist * Package name : free-java-sdk Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Grzegorz B. Prokopski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * License : LGPL Description : Complete Java SDK environment consisting of free Java tools
The idea behind this package is that developer could install this package, set JAVA_HOME to /usr/lib/fjsdk and be able to use featurefull Java development environment using free tools only. This package will be mostly "Depend: on all the needed stuff" type, but I will probably also include some helper tools when they're needed for compatibility or for env. consistency. I'd like to have JSDK that can be used to build and use any DFSG-compat software. It means I don't want GPLed JVM and/or classlib as it is unclear if they can be legally used with for ex. apache type licensed libs which are GPL-incompatible. ATM I think that resonable and complete Depends: would be on: sablevm - LGPL JVM (being packaged atm) - will give 'java' command sablevm-classlib - gnu classlib based classlib for SableVM (being packged) licenses under GPL+linking exception jikes - 'javac' command (IBM Public License) classpath-tools - GPL licensed tools - will give 'javah', 'javap', 'serialver' (being packaged) gjdoc - GPL licensed 'javadoc' drop-in replacement (being packaged) Above tools should give complete free Java development environment. It will be created with hope, that it will be usefull for Java package maintaners that would like to try building their packages with free tools which would eventually allow moving them from contrib to main section.
