Hi Scott, Trying to determine base, and target versions for natty is surprisingly difficult. As we discussed, Java upstreams usually use a tarball like dependency method to satisfy their requirements. We have *no* chance of changing the whole Java ecosystem to better suite distribution, although perhaps having influence on some. This means that some projects which we rely upon tracking the development version, the upstream project likely doesn't know exactly what dependencies they need. However, in order to have a plan of what java dependencies we should be providing for Natty; we still need an enriched governance model. JamesPage is, AIUI, proposing a stricter requirement on requiring a post DIF exception for Java libraries (perhaps main only?), which seems to make best sense IMO.
