15 Ah, I understand.
16
17 And yes, I am working on an ebuild which provides an
18 end-user-application, which is called Hibiscus, an online-banking
19 software [1].
20
21 I also filed a bug-report for it [2], which also lists the dependencies
22 which are not yet packaged in Gentoo but I have created ebuilds for.
23
24 Although the ebuilds are already working (at least for me) so that one
25 can use the application productively, they still have some structural
26 flaws, the biggest one beeing missing Eclipse libraries like
27 eclipse-runtime, forms, jface, osgi and birt. Currently those
28 dependencies are not build from source but installed as binary. But I
29 will write a separate mail on this issue.
30
31 I thought I get Hibiscus' dependencies one after another into Gentoo
32 (java-overlay?) and started with hbci4java [3], the library which
33 implements the HBCI protocol and therefore provides the core banking
34 functionality for Hibiscus.
35
36 Although I have some experience with Java and Gentoo Packaging, I could
37 need a lot of help from the Java-team to manage this not-quite small
38 project.
39
40 Do you maybe have some advices for me on how to approach this task?
