Bug#935849: tutorial: wrong bin link
Also, the tutorial should include "jarwrapper" in the example "debian/control" so that copy just works. The section about "jarwrapper" in the tutorial gives further explanation in case anyone is interested. Maybe a hint about overwriting targets in "debian/rules" should be given as well: override_jh_build: jh_build --main ClassName Probably it would be best to add a new section to the tutorial summarizing all these findings!

Yes, that is a minor documentation bug. Will be fixed with another release. As I said: Questions about Java packaging should be asked on our mailing list or on IRC, the bug tracker is only for reporting bugs. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Thank you so much for your detailed answer! Adding "jarwrapper" to my runtime dependencies and changing "debian/salliere.links" to "usr/share/salliere/salliere.jar usr/bin/salliere.jar" solved my issue. Nevertheless, the tutorial should also use the full path for destination as required by dh_link: "Be sure you do specify the full filename to both the source and destination files" (http://man.he.net/man1/dh_link).

Javahelper is only used for very simple Java packages or in conjunction with another sophisticated build system like Ant, Maven or Gradle. You should look into jarwrapper or java-wrapper, two different methods to start a Java application. https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Packaging/Ant#java-wrappers_versus_jarwrapper Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Package: javahelper Version: 0.72.8 The tutorial (/usr/share/doc/javahelper/tutorial.html) contains the following: > Sample Application Packaging > > debian/salliere.links > > usr/share/salliere/salliere.jar usr/bin I don't think the jar should "replace" /usr/bin!? What "binary" should a java application include in a debian package to call the main() function? In my first tests, I used java -cp /path/to/file.jar
