I'm quoting myself here (Wed, 14 Jun 2006 08:36:29 +0200), but I
didn't get any response the last time so I really don't know if it
reached the right people.  Second and last attempt, sending to some
more people.

As mentioned by somebody on Debian-legal,
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/libswt3.1-gtk-java says:
"SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) provides functionality similar to Swing".

The DLJ at http://download.java.net/dlj/DLJ-v1.1.txt says: "do not
combine, configure or distribute the Software to run in conjunction
with any additional software that implements the same or similar
functionality or APIs as the Software".

If I'm reading the DLJ correctly, this means Debian isn't allowed to
distribute SUN's JDK if that makes it possible to run SWT apps with
it.  Not being able to run Eclipse (which is an SWT app) would make
Debian's JDK package useless for me.
