Objective Caml and GCJ ship bytecode of the compiler and bootstrap from that. That's another approach, but it reeks of a DFSG violation. > You can also hand-edit the files in > eclipse-build-generatedScripts.tar.bz2, which was how I prepared the > initial 3.7~exp upload. :) (Though I guess this is how you did it > :P) Yeah, and looking at #648641, the issue is likely more generic. How much control do we have over the script generation? I wonder if we could tweak it to use the shortest possible symlink in /usr/share/java instead of (essentially) the output of realpath. This way, we wouldn't have the version number in the the JAR reference, avoiding tight coupling to a particular library version. Actually, I don't think installing Java libraries with versioned names is such a good idea. We don't do proper versioning for incompatible library upgrades anyway, and need not support parallel installation of multiple versions. -- Florian Weimer <fwei...@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
