ant now depends on default-jdk, and recommends ant-gcj. However, ant still
depends on libxerces2-java, which
depends on libxerces2-java-gcj, which pulls in gcj. I'd much rather have
libxerces2-java depend on default-jdk too.
libxerces2-java no longer universally recommends
default-jdk was just made a Suggests in ant. I'll forward the suggestion
to Debian..

You received this bug notification because you are a member of
Thierry, please do forward your suggestion to Debian; however I do not
think it is necessary to actually *block* changes to the Ubuntu server
CD on agreement from Debian.

I agree this is wrong.
ant should not depend on a JDK since it can be used for much more than
compilation.
Packages that just build-depend on ant (and expect to get a JDK) should be
fixed.
I would even go further. Some software (including Eucalyptus) use ant at
runtime, but not for compilation.
Whatever the decision it should be in sync in Debian/Ubuntu. Currently
the ant package in Debian 'depends' on java-gcj-compat-dev where as the
one in Ubuntu 'recommends' default-jdk.
Let me know what you guys think.

why ant depends on default-jdk? I have an app that depends on velocity, and
velocity depends on ant - so my end-users get the jdk installed on their
machine...
Or is the problem is that velocity depends on ant?

IMO this is wrong. As an analogy make doesn't depend on all the tools
that may be invoked as well.
