  ^^ this one is still available in the package icedtea-6-jre-cacao
(though directory may point in the wrong place).

  Good point. I kept that for a long time since I still had memories
of the days when java in Debian meant a multitude of JVMs, most of
them not having enough functionality to get apps running. Fortunately,
these days have gone now ;-)...

  I'll remove that along with the new things I'll develop for
java-wrappers anyway. That said, if you want to remove them, please go
ahead.

  Cheers,

      Vincent
