So... nobody would like to give ma an advice on this one?
Maybe I state it differently.
Are you going to have just ONE releaseble set off tool - I mean
you release 0.5 version which includes cp-tools, gjdoc, textlets,
automakejar?
Or will they have seaprate releases? (in the future)
It is important, because I wouldn't like to change package layout
one the package is in the distro (or even worse - after it comes
into testing and then stable).
You mentioned tools.jar that we should have. Would it consist of
what? cp-tools and gjdoc - it seems could be in that one jar
(and be release togoether, under one name-number).

Sure we have /etc/alternatives/ symlinks, but they must _link to
somewhere_ - if you want alternatives - you need to be able to install
those "alternative" packages at the same time - so they cannot
contain the same files! (/usr/bin/javap for ex.), but instead they
have their own names for that "alternative" tool, like
/usr/bin/$sth-$mainname or /usr/lib/$sth/$mainname or
/usr/lib/$sth/bin/$mainname.
then /etc/alternatives/$mainname symlink chooses which you use.
and /usr/bin/$mainname points to /etc/alternatives/$mainname
Huh... I just wanted your advice on you would you like it best ;)

So I assume I did it right.
