Common Java Packaging

Goals

Implementing a common set of policies and helper tools to ease the task of packaging java application and making it as fail-safe as our users would expect it. Provide the user with one easy and well structured way to handle java related configurations and issues.

Tools

This open wiki and a mailing list at https://www.zarb.org/mailman/listinfo/cojapas

Solutions

So, to finally get something done here, we will add a page, where we list the requirements and if someone has already a working solution for it. In the end we hopefully have something to base a descision on.

Discussion

Please describe your current way, how you handle such things as

Distributions

[[What_is_required_from_upstream]]

Upstream developpers have little or no idea of what must be done to make their project easy to package. They need clear guidelines or they will continue to produce software that is very difficult to package.

Problems and discussed Solutions

The idea is to figure out some problems with current packaging. The page should also hold the discussion about what needs to be done to find a common solution, which is acceptable for each group. I've also included a page about requirements from each group.
