Here is my guess: `jexec` only works with openjdk installed. At one point debian had multiple java implementation (sun, kaffe...). These days only two really remains, so maybe an easier solution would be to have a `gcj-exec` provided by `gcj-jdk` to mimic openjdk package. Which means it would be much easier to handle the LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue within the `gcj-exec` executable. jarwrapper is only really needed with a custom jre installation... 2cts __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
