Java/Packaging - Tools for packaging Java applications and libraries in Debian Instead of managing each alternative separately, you can update them all in one go with 'update-java-alternatives' from java-commonĭevelopers - Java packaging work in Debian

Most java-related executables, multiple of which can be installed at any time, are managed by the 'alternatives' system.

java1-runtime-headless, java2-runtime-headless, java5-runtime-headless, java6-runtime-headless.

java1-runtime, java2-runtime, java5-runtime, java6-runtime.

Runtimes should provide all virtual packages which they support, so openjdk 6 provides java2-runtime, java5-runtime and java6-runtime. A dependency on javaX-runtime means that the package can work with any runtime which implements version X. These cover runtime compatibility and come in two flavours headless (omits graphical interfaces) and normal. There are several virtual packages used in Debian for Java. Understanding Java Virtual packages names Remember to manually check for updates and generate and install the updated pacakges! WARNING: there is no way to get automatic security updates.

Debian, however, provides an helper to generate Debian packages from upstream tarballs. No longer available in Debian due to license reasons.
