Hi I'm trying to package JLargeArrays [1] to Debian which requires passing the '-XDignore.symbol.file' option to the compiler [2]. This package uses maven and 'mvn package' works fine in Debian Stretch.
However, the Debian package I prepared [3] failed to build until I set the maven.compiler.fork option [4]. I found online that maven would silently discard '-XD' flags unless fork is set but upstream does not have that set and it builds fine in Debian. Could someone explain to me why? This is my first Java Debian package and I'm probably missing something pretty obvious. Thank you Carnë [1] https://gitlab.com/ICM-VisLab/JLargeArrays [2] https://gitlab.com/ICM-VisLab/JLargeArrays/blob/develop/pom.xml#L95 [3] https://github.com/carandraug/debian-libjlargearrays-java [4] https://github.com/carandraug/debian-libjlargearrays-java/commit/ef0d5bfa
