Bug#490433: netbeans-platform: Please provide org-openide-util.jar as separate package

2008-07-12 Thread Sylvestre Ledru
Package: netbeans-platform
Version: 6.0.1+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I am trying to package freehep-util which is used in many of the 
freehep packages (http://java.freehep.org/).
However, freehep-util is based on org-openide-util. Therefore, I need to
set a dependency on the netbeans-platform package just for this library.
Do you think that this java package could become a specific debian 
package ?

Thanks!
Sylvestre

there are basically two things happening with netbeans. one is to split
out all non-netbeans originating embedded libs to use them from seperate
packages (upstream is doing that by making sure, any modifications on
those libs are merged by their respective upstream projects), and
another one is (which is the interesting one for you :) to heavily break
up netbeans binary packages in debian, which i'm working on to do. in
the end, to offer maximal flexibility, netbeans-platform would be very,
very small and depend on a big chunk of independent jar packages only.

however.. that will not make it into lenny yet.
