Soory, good find! Changed to <para> As there is almost no control over different java compilers, package &should; either use <filename>ant</filename> to compile and build java packages, or directly access the required tools. They &must; not use the alternative managed <filename>/usr/bin/javadoc</filename> or <filename>/usr/bin/javac</filename>. The ant environement is handled via the java-config system (see below). For java development kits, which aren't distributable by debian the "unfree" interface for ant environments should be used. </para> Jan -- Jan Schulz [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Wer nicht fragt, bleibt dumm."
