Hey guys, I'm fairly new to Arch and very new to making packages. I write a lot of my stuff in Java, and I know that Java is normally a pain to package on Linux systems. I have had a good look at the Java Packaging Guidelines, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Jav … Guidelines and I see that it says about not bothering compiling from Java source and just provide the JARs (am I correct?). So my question is, if I were to make a PKGBUILD for my Java based program, would the build() block just basically create the folders in the filesystem and move the content (JARs etc) to the folders? And then create the shell script in the appropriate location?
Forgive me I have the completely wrong idea...
Many thanks
