[Kde-java] standardized java-kde app packaging

[Adrian Petru Dimulescu]

Hello,

as I already said, I'm experimenting with a Java-kde application (a 
development of George Russell's gilt).

I wonder what to do as far as packaging is concerned: normally, a 
non-basic KDE application, comes with a ./configure, requires kdelibs 
and parhaps kdebase; what should require a kde-java app? I guess all 
that and kdebindings for java. But as the libraries are in jar form and 
not already natively compiled, should my application package do the 
compiling of koala.jar and qtjava.jar ?

Or should I simply wait for a kde-java version which compiles itself by 
default ?

Is there an example automake/conf I could follow? I haven't been able to 
get the sample Java skeleton app in KDevelop to compile, so I 'm pretty 
confused at this point.

All that because I think that doing a KDE Java application which 
requires the JVM is simply not something users would accept. I wouldn't 
take the pain myself of installing a  JVM and run an unintegrated, 
KDE-unaware Java application -- if I had the choice, of course. So I 
think JavaKDE could only work in the natively compiled  form.

Thanks for your opinions,
Adrian.
