jcc for Debian
--------------

If you are wondering whether this package is working or not, run
the following command. It should exit silently with no errors.

 $ python -m jcc
or
 $ python -m jcc.__main__ # on Python 2.6

This package was built using rpath which is very unusual. The reason
is we need to link against shared libraries shipped with Java. There's
also some discussion on the upstream mailing lists, the Debian Java
lists, amongst other distributions, and with the Debian ftp master.
This seems like the best idea at the time; talk to the maintainer if
you have a better one. Here are some references:

Even though building JCC in shared mode would be better [0], right now shared
mode is disabled because it requires a patch to be applied to setuptools [1].
