Yeah, a BlueJ package would be really cool, even though I don't know how to create one.

Any Idea how to "skip" the standard installer? Any help is appreciated

Re: [Request] BlueJ and PCGen

I did't think there was any way to skip the bluej installer. I asked on the mailing list just to be sure and they said it wasn't possible. it is with the windows installer, but this doesn't help us.

what I had thought of as a workaround, and what was suggested when I asked was to do the install, then put the result in a .tar.gz and use that as the "source" for the PKGBUILD.
I'm not sure whether it would be more appropriate to include that in the tarball that gets uploaded to the aur or to post it somewhere else on the web to be downloaded.

Unsurprisingly, the aur doesn't allow me to upload a 3 megabyte file, so I hosted the "sources" that I created on my own webspace and uploaded the PKGBUILD to the aur. here it is:
