+Information about ecj
+---------------------
+
+This package provides the Eclipse Compiler for Java independently of the Eclipse
+platform which may be more difficult to upgrade than this independent package.
+This compiler is used by Tomcat to compile the JSPs.
+
+Versioning
+----------
+
+There is a mismatch between the version of the Eclipse Platform which is used
+to tag the upstream source repository and the version of the Eclipse Compiler.
+The package caries the version of the compiler, this version is found in the
+org.eclipse.jdt.core/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file in the upstream source tree.
+
+
+Updating
+--------
+
+1. Find the version of the compiler and add an entry in debian/changelog
+2. Update the TAG constant in debian/rules (with the version of the Eclipse Platform)
+3. Run ./debian/rules get-orig-source
