[14:36] <akoskm> hi
[14:36] <akoskm> is debian's java policy applies to ubuntu too?
[14:46] <JamesPage> akoskm: yes - the divergence between Ubuntu and Debian in terms of Java libraries is minimal;
[14:47] <JamesPage> akoskm: so by following the debian java policy most work can be fed back to debian (minimising the diff between parent and child distro)
[14:54] <akoskm> JamesPage, thank you
[14:54] <JamesPage> np
[15:10] <akoskm> I'm following this link http://wiki.debian.org/Java/Draft what I found on the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaPolicy
[15:10] <akoskm> in chapter 2.1 Virtual Machines, 4th paragraph
[15:11] <akoskm> If a virtual machine supports native code, it must include the directory /usr/lib/jni in its search path for these dynamic libraries.
[15:11] <akoskm> this mean that example the sun-jvm or the openjdk one should include this path by default?
[15:11] <akoskm> this means*
[16:15] <JamesPage> akoskm: I use this documentation : http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/
[16:15] <JamesPage> which says pretty much the same thing.
[16:16] <akoskm> yes. I looked it before
[16:22] <JamesPage> akoskm: I've not used anything with jni integration requirements on ubuntu.
[16:23] <JamesPage> akoskm: in the past on other distros I've added additional directories to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
[16:31] <JamesPage> akoskm: I think that openjdk will look in this location but the sun-jvm does not by default
[16:31] <JamesPage> akoskm:  you can add it by specifying the location as a parameter to java/jre -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni
[16:33] <JamesPage> akoskm: openjdk had done this since 6b12-0ubuntu6.4
[16:34] <JamesPage> akoskm: see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+changelog
