-Description: OpenJDK 7 Development Kit with enhanced class redefinition
+Description: Alternative VM for OpenJDK 7 with enhanced class redefinition
  The Dynamic Code Evolution Virtual Machine (DCE VM) is a modification of
  the Java HotSpot VM that allows unlimited redefinition of loaded classes
  at runtime. The current hotswapping mechanism of the HotSpot VM allows
  only changing method bodies. This enhanced VM allows adding and removing
  fields and methods as well as changes to the super types of a class.

- and linking every component of the JDK but the VM libraries to this package.
- The resulting JDK is located at /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-dcevm-(amd64|i386)/

- The version of this package reflects the version of the HotSpot VM modified
- with the DCEVM patch. The JDK APIs are those of the underlying OpenJDK
- package used and may be more recent.
+ This alternative VM is enabled by adding the -dcevm option when invoking
+ the java command.
