Hi all,

I found 2 (small) defects while trying to build openJDK with
the latest instructions:
- /usr/share/applications might not exist if building only
required and recommended deps. If it does not exist
the "cat >>/usr/share/applications/openjdk-7-policy.desktop..."
instruction fails.
- (more controversial, sorry) It seems to me that icedtea-web
is not really a dependency (even optional). You only need
the tarball in the parent directory of the build directory.
So, I'd rather see icedtea-web listed in the Additional Downloads
section.
OTOH, if icedtea-web is already installed, the icon is already
in /usr/share/applications, and there is nothing to do...

If you agree with the above, I propose to:
- add "mkdir -p /usr/share/applications" before the said "cat"
instructions
- remove icedtea-web from the deps and move it to
"Additional Downloads"
- tidy up the text to remove lines above 80 chars where possible.

Waiting until Fernando answers, but of course willing to hear
anybody who would want to say something.

Pierre
