This wouldn't work because SUN's java (and others) do provide
java2-runtime. If josm drops this dependency users might need to
install a jvm they don't want to.
But otherwise the simply can't use josm! I can't understand why we
don't accept the fact that josm simply doesn't work with some VMs, and
so can't depend on a general VM, but only on those that make it work
(and, in my opinion, only sun-java* do).
Pretending to use a package and wanting not to install its dependencies
is a bit too ambitious, I think! And we cannot do anything against
the fact that josm doesn't work with gij-4.3. ;-)
I don't know when Sun's JVM will be free and packaged in main, but I
don't think is would be that incredible waste of time moving josm to
contrib until it happens so.
It's also current policy to depend on the virtual package, also this
should be changed in the future as far as i know.
Well, I really hope it to be changed, because right now our
dependencies are insufficient for josm.
:-)
Cheers, Giovanni.
