I would like to know what a jpackage is. It is a project to do what?
Showing my lack of understanding on something important to java I expect.
http://www.jpackage.org Don't expect to make too much sense out of it
or to find anything for current fedora versions there. It is devoted to
building installable linux packages for a wild assortment of
incompatible distributions and packaging mechanisms out of what mostly
should have been portable code in the first place. For the supported
distibutions, it does work well once you figure out how to install the
part they don't include (Sun java...) with their compatibility add-on
and get their repository added to your system. You could then 'yum
install' just about any java program. However, fedora seems to want to
live in a self-contained universe which isn't constructed yet, so there
is nothing here for current versions.
