Apache XML Commons Resolver for Debian
--------------------------------------
- The JAR is named xml-commons-resolver-*.jar in /usr/share/java. Most
applications that use the resolver library expect the JAR name to be simply
resolver.jar in their build files.
- Two files are missing in the Debian package compared to upstream's binary
distribution. I don't know where upstream got them from, the strings
"WhichFactory" and "WhichJar" don't appear in the source code at all:
org.apache.env.WhichFactory.properties
org.apache.env.WhichJar.properties
- The Javadoc API documentation is not re-created during the build process
because there are no tools for this in the Debian main section. The
pre-built version from the distribution archive is used instead.
- This package installs a CatalogManager.properties file in the
/etc/xml/resolver directory. Among other things, the
CatalogManager.properties file tells the resolver where to find XML
catalog files to use. Debian uses a single master catalog file --
/etc/xml/catalog -- so the CatalogManager.properties that this package
installs points to that file.
In order for the resolver to be able to find and use the
CatalogManager.properties files, you need to include the
*directory* that contains it -- the /etc/xml/resolver directory -- in
your Java classpath, either by specifying it on the Java command-line
or via the CLASSPATH environment variable:
export CLASSPATH=/etc/xml/resolver:$CLASSPATH
