Hi Matthias,

you are right - I also thought of decoupling gjdoc from kaffe. This
also relates to my bug report #317821 on java-gcj-compat for a javadoc
wrapper script to use java-gcj vm to execute gjdoc and not a directly
link.

gjdoc should depends on java1-runtime | java2runtime and in the
gjdoc script if JAVA is not set the current java executable
set by the alternative system /usr/bin/java should be used.

This way kaffe's javadoc would call the gjdoc executable through a
wrapper with JAVA=/usr/lib/kaffe/bin/java gjdoc and java-gcj with
also with it's own wrapper.

However, I would like to hear the opinion of Michael Koch who
primarily maintains gjdoc in the pkg-java team.

Regards,

Wolfgang
