JBoss in Ubuntu
Currently, there are no debian / ubuntu packages for JBoss.
It can be quite difficult to install JBoss for people that just want to setup a JBoss installation.
Goals
Allow easy installation of JBoss and its many different projects - as shown on http://www.jboss.org/projects/download/
Current Packages
There are some packages within Ubuntu that are related to JBoss
Binary packages
These packages are within universe:
- libjboss-common-java - The JBoss Common Project
- libjboss-profiler-java - JBoss Profiler
- libjboss-serialization-java - JBoss Serialization
These packages currently only contain specific jar files related to the above JBoss projects.
ie: libjboss-common-java includes the jboss-common.jar file only...
The above packages are based on the information from http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/JBossCommonProject
Source packages
There is also a source package within multiverse named jbossas4
However, this includes a bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jbossas4/+bug/184557
Considerations
The libjboss-common-java package stores the library files (jar) within /usr/share/java, which is where all java related libraries / jar files are located within Ubunutu. Will need to keep this consistent.
There will be many different packages, created in a structured way.
Look at using the above JBoss Common Project information...
Current JBoss binary tree
Currently when you extract the binary zip file, it will create a specific tree, which JBoss will look for.
This information is most likely configurable somewhere within the extensive JBoss configuration files, as it will need to conform to current Ubunutu locations (ie: jar files located within /usr/share/java for example).
lib - contains the base jar files required for JBoss
endorsed - contains serializer, xalan and xercesImpl - required Apache jars
bin - scripts and main jar files for starting JBoss
client - client side jar files
server - JBoss server tree (this is where all the "guts" of JBoss is)
Notes
May implement own packages based on http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/
Most people that want JBoss actually want JBossAS.
Ideas
I think that there should be a Ubuntu package for each of the subversion repositories found at http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/ prefixed with jboss, and suffixed with java.
eg:
jboss-common-java
jboss-hibernate-java
jboss-jbossas-java
- etc...
Not sure how to handle libraries however, as all java programs are basically just made up of lots of jar files... (which it seems Debian maintainers are calling libraries - in relation to libjboss-common-java package).
