Bug#859001: libbrowserlauncher-java: No jar file without version number

Package: libbrowserlauncher-java
Version: 1.3+dfsg-1
Severity: serious

The package contents are (mainly):

/usr/share/java/BrowserLauncher2-1_3-1.3.jar
/usr/share/java/BrowserLauncher2-1_3.jar -> BrowserLauncher2-1_3-1.3.jar

There is no jar without a version number. This makes it impossible to
add the jar to the CLASSPATH of other packages, since the file name will
change silently with the next version.

Therefore, please include also a versionless jar file
BrowserLauncher2.jar. This is also requested by Java policy.

Best regards

Ole
