Hi Niels, I perfectly agree that we should not try to keep OpenJDK-6 alive for ages. However, jai-core is packaged as precondition for other packages that are quite important (for Debian Med). The problem is that as you probably know all these Java programs just include a jai-core.jar which is unacceptable for a package in main. So we tried to package this code that is orphaned since sic years if you look at their SVN
https://java.net/projects/jai-core/sources/svn/show The question ist now, whether we as in Debian are able to maintain this code (which also has a non-free license (JRL)) or whether there is some replacement. I simply can not believe that there is no free library for Java to do image operations. Otherwise our chances to package our final targets in medical imaging are close to zero. Kind regards Andreas.
