Subject: java-package: for jdk provide alternative to bin/java rather than
jre/bin/java
Package: java-package
Version: 0.53
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
when creating a deb package from the JDK there should be a (and probably
the default one) pointing to bin/java (and all other tools) rather than
jre/bin/java.
firstly, a JDK is usually installed to be used as JDK not a JRE (else one
would use the JRE to begin with). secondly, Eclipse/ANT continually
complaints about the java exec not being from an JDK, preventing the use
of the same JRE as Eclipse uses and thus a several features requiring ANT
to use the same java as Eclipse does.
