Well not really. If all they are intended to be is a source of JARs for
development purposes than thats fine (but it would be useful to be told).

Its only if they are intended to be all of glassfish that there is a bug.

Also if there is a plan in place to provide the rest, then raising a bug is
just noise.

For this reason I thought that a discussion on the list was the best starting
point.

If I recall correctly, that is still the aim. But I am not sure if
Torsten managed to fully package all the dependencies needed to set up
and run an instance.

But I am sure that it is their aim to make available various Java
based application servers in Debian, and they were working one by one
on the dependencies.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks.

Yes but which to submit. Lets sort that out then I will add a bug (unless
someone beats me to it).
