Java launchers for working with JNI libraries (or libraries using JNI libraries). These packages were created because configuring java.library.path is fairly poorly supported by common Java tools.
These debian packages add launchers in /usr/local/bin for java
and mvn, respectively. They add "/usr/lib/jni" to the java library path
transparently, so your other tools (build tools and IDEs) can use JNI
libraries without extra setup. This works as long as the actual java
installation is located in the path _after_ /usr/local/bin.
These packages are versioned in Git, so the upstream and Debian versions are identical. Each package is built by
debuild -b -us -ucInstall the packages
dpkg -i nextexec_<ver>.deb java-jni-wrapper_<ver>.debInstall the packages
dpkg -i nextexec_<ver>.deb mvn-jni-wrapper_<ver>.debRun java from the $PATH. You should now have "/usr/lib/jni" in the
library path automatically, assuming you've installed the actual Java after
/usr/local/bin. You can use
assertJniPath.java for testing.
Setting up the Java Classpath is handled well by existing tools. See instructions for whatever you are using.
