Details

In the end of the PKGBUILD of j2sdk there is this code :

for i in java/*; do
if [ -f $i ]; then rm -f $i; fi
done

The problem is that it removes the file src.zip that contains some useful informations used for example by Eclipse.

I'm sending the screenshots of Eclipse with and without src.zip.
   Eclipse-(with-src.zip).png (75.7 KiB)
   Eclipse-(without-src.zip).png (38.7 KiB)
This task depends upon

It's definitely a tradeoff. If I include it, people complain because the package is too big (it adds about 25 meg to the jdk package). If I don't include it, people complain because eclipse et al benefit from it.

I'll re-read the distribution license and see if I can distribute the src.zip seperately.

What is with the bug at this moment?

Debian separates the different parts of the sun java package. See http://packages.debian.org/testing/source/sun-java5

And now java is GPL (since java6)

I plan on just including it in the package, but I have to ask Andy a couple of questions about the jdk package first.

We should really include the sources. The jdk is meant for developers and those really need the sources.
