This is where I'm stuck, because there are packages called system-java14 and system-java14-dev (as well the 13 and 15 counterparts), but there is no explanation of the differences between them (at least, no explanation I could in the Fink docs or by searching Google). FinkCommander shows no package descriptions for them. Anybody know where I can find details on exactly what these packages provide? Thanks,
It should be safe to BuildDepend on system-java14. Currently, the way it figures out whether you have the dev packages installed is by checking for the existence of JNI headers. The Apple (non-dev) java package includes the jar utility, so it should be safe to assume if system-javaXX is there, jar is there.
Okay, that's what I expected; I just wanted to make sure. For future reference, how were you able to confirm this? I knew that they were virtual packages, but surely there must still be some way of knowing exactly what they provide, whether it is just a collection of other packages or whatever.
