Bug#385257: No matching plugin was found

[Eric Lavarde - Debian]

severity 385257 wishlist
retitle 385257 make-jpkg could detect EE Java and display helpful error text
thanks

Hi Giuseppe,

you've downloaded the EE (Enterprise/Server version), make-jpkg does only
work with Java SE (Desktop), so you need to download the Java SE JDK.

Alternatively, you can now use the sun-java5-* packages in
unstable/non-free; or of course use one of the free alternatives, kaffe,
gcj/gci ... (if it works for your application).

Nevertheless, make-jpkg could perhaps recognize the error and output a
more helpful message (perhaps by creating a minimal plugin, that would
just spit an error?!).

Cheers, Eric
