First of all, nobody really wrote /against/ this proposal and nobody said there's no need for a standard, so I suppose everyone's ok with it. If this is not the case, just speak up, otherwise I'll wait for a week from the last comment and then proceed to wikify it.

I'll keep the slash syntax, then, it's also simpler to customize.

However I had to do some other changes. As I pointed out in the post: «I was noticed that I can directly use jar, which the user already has since it's part of the JRE. This is great, since it spares a makedepend! However, jar can't extract to directories other than the current one: this means that, after the directory creation, it's necessary to cd before extracting. Since there were many occurrences of the destination path I decided to use a custom variable even though somebody might not like it, because there's a great improvement in readability.» Quick link reference: http://blog.bardland.org/2008/11/20/arch-linux-eclipse-plug-in-packaging-a-proposal/ Corrado
