# Debian packages in Java

This library provides an Ant task and a Maven plugin to create Debian packages

from Java builds in a truly cross platform manner. Build your Debian packages

on any platform that has Java support. Windows, Linux, OS X - it doesn't require

additional native tools installed.

Check the documentation on how to use it with [Maven](http://github.com/tcurdt/jdeb/blob/master/docs/maven.md)

or [Ant](http://github.com/tcurdt/jdeb/blob/master/docs/ant.md). Especially don't forget to check out the

[examples](http://github.com/tcurdt/jdeb/blob/master/src/examples/). Current

[javadocs](http://tcurdt.github.io/jdeb/apidocs/) and a source

[xref](http://tcurdt.github.io/jdeb/xref/) is also available.

## Where to get it

The jars are available in the [Maven central repository](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/vafer/jdeb/).

If you feel adventurous or want to help out feel free to get the latest code

[via git](http://github.com/tcurdt/jdeb/tree/master).

    git clone git://github.com/tcurdt/jdeb.git

## Working towards jdeb 2.0

Over the years jdeb has grown more and more powerful - but also got more complex. In order to simplify the usage and apply what we have learned we are taking a step back. If you want to help to shape the usage of jdeb 2.0 feel free to contribute to the [planning](https://github.com/tcurdt/jdeb/issues/195). I think it still could be worth but this needs a sponsor.
