jcc for Debian -------------- If you are wondering whether this package is working or not, run the following command. It should exit silently with no errors. $ python -m jcc or $ python -m jcc.__main__ # on Python 2.6 This package was built using rpath which is very unusual. The reason is we need to link against shared libraries shipped with Java. There's also some discussion on the upstream mailing lists, the Debian Java lists, amongst other distributions, and with the Debian ftp master. This seems like the best idea at the time; talk to the maintainer if you have a better one.
