dummy-jdk-deb

A tiny Debian package just for signalling to the packaging system that a Java Development Kit (JDK) is to be considered available.

Java developers and heavy users commonly unpack a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) tarball somewhere (i.e. /opt) and do not need nor wish to install a Java package from the repositories, having its own list of dependencies, only to satisfy a dependency to another packages.

This project allows you to install other Debian packages that need Java. The package dummy-jdk-exclusive actually conflicts with java-common. The commands java, javac etc. should be somewhere on your PATH. If you wish, the easier way is just placing a symbolic link to your preferred JVM at /usr/lib/jvm/default. This location is going to be checked by a system-wide shell profile file installed by this package in /etc/profile.d/. If the default dir exists, it will be set next login to the environment variable JAVA_HOME and its subdirectory bin will be prepended to PATH.

Installing

Check the repository Packages page for the latest version released. There are instructions for using APT or direct downloading the file.

Building

The artifact is built with a tool from package equivs using:

equivs-build --full dummy-jdk-exclusive.equivs
