If possible debian packaging could be used as starting point here too http://packages.debian.org/lenny/openjdk-6-jdk

Java itself works fine, but:

  1. Command line icon missing. It is needed to tell people who are not familiar with unix that this application needs special knowledge to be used.

  2. short description is not enduser-friendly. "This package installs.." is a silly way to start a desription. Perhaps something like: "OpenJDK Java runtime, ARM(tm) optimized version".

  3. The current full description belongs to debian/copyright file.

Remember that these descriptions need to be understandable by non-technical people too.

I understand debian/ubuntu versions of openjdk now come with icedtea-plugin for browser, is it going to be included some day?

A Java 6 JDK on the N900, and it's optified. Now there's Java on the N900. Neat! :)

  • Broken bugtracker link, it starts with xsbc-bugtracker.

  • This package needs a more detailed description. What is this? Is it a library? Is it a command line only app?
