This package provides the capability to build a Debian package from
a Java binary distribution by running make-jpkg <java binary archive file>.
(with archive files downloaded from providers listed below)
Supported java binary distributions currently include:
* Oracle (

- The Java Development Kit (JDK), version 6, 7 and 8
- The Java Runtime Environment (JRE), version 6, 7 and 8

Choose tar.gz archives or self-extracting archives (_not_ RPM).
Please note that Debian recommends the use of openjdk-[78]-jdk and/or
openjdk-[78]-jre, which are installed by default-jdk or default-jre for
most architectures.
java-package will create non-free packages.
