Helper scripts for packaging Java programs

Javahelper contains several scripts which help in packaging
Java programs.

jh_depends searches jars to find which packages they depend on,
similar to dh_shlibdeps. It will also add depends on jarwrapper
for packages with executable jars.

jh_classpath will register the classpath dependencies for each
jar so that they can be automatically loaded when that jar is
used by other programs.

jh_manifest updates the manifest in jar files according to
a provided spec so that the resultant jar files will work with
jarwrapper-enabled packages.

jh_exec looks for symlinks to jars which should be executable
and makes them executable

jh_build builds java files to jars for you.

jh_libs installs library jars into the correct locations

jh_makepkg generates a template for a Debian Java package for you

/usr/share/javahelper/java-vars.mk provides a selection of useful
variables such as various JVM paths and the JVM name for the architecture

/usr/share/javahelper/java-arch.sh converts Debian architecture
names into java names to locate libjvm.so in non-make build systems

javahelper provides CDBS and dh macros so that it can be used with those
package build systems.
