1 Hi
2
3 dev-java/ has currently 338 packages (and growing ;) ) - maybe it is a
4 good idea to split it to multiple categories? (basic idea is much like
5 with perl-core or www-apache categories). My proposal (it has to be
6 polished - that's just an idea):
7
8 - java-vm/ - all JDKs and JREs (sun, blackdown, kaffe, etc.. jamvm,
9 sablevm ?)
10 - java-commons/ - all commons-* [ other possibility: java-jakarta - to
11 have all commons-* and jakarta-* packages in it ]
12 - java-libs/ - all packages providing Java API for other libraries
13 (like gnome-java, libgconf-java, libgtk-java, etc...)
14 - java-web - WWW related packages (like template engines, web
15 frameworks) [ or java-www ]
16 - java-db - database access, persistence frameworks, JDBC
17 - java-apps - standalone Java applications - like jvmstat, jython, etc)
18
19 all the rest could be left in dev-java or moved (preffered?) to
20 java-util/java-dev/java-misc.
21
22 That way the huge dev-java could be made manageable again :)
