dep: java

What should I specify when something depends on java? Is just 'java' fine, or do I need to specify a certain package of java?

Also, is it possible to specify a certain package of java? The app I'm packaging requires you to set the JVM path during installation.

Re: dep: java

if your pkg needs only the java-VM and your downloaded original tarball is already compiled, then

depends=(j2re)

is enough

if it comes in source, then

makedepends=(j2sdk)
depends=(j2re)

is ok,

if it needs the sdk running (is e.g. an IDE for java), then

depends=(j2sdk)

is the way

// note: for some java based pkgs, ant is needed to compile it (build.xml provided by the author) ... ant is in the TUR's
