Chapter 7. Java Policy

# Chapter 7. Java Policy

## 7.1. Is there a Java policy for Debian?

It is still in the works. The current policy addresses some of the problems. It has not been officially released. You can find it at https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/. The Java Policy can also be found in the `java-policy` package.

## 7.2. Are there holes in the Java Policy?

Yes, some until under discussion. Please check out the bugs against the java-policy package. Thus it is very inconvenient to use several compilers of virtual machines since there is not one CLASSPATH setting for all of them.
