Hello,

you can find more information in our Java packaging guide at

https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Packaging

The answer depends on your build system. Javahelper is only used for
very simple Java packages or in conjunction with another sophisticated
build system like Ant, Maven or Gradle. You should look into jarwrapper
or java-wrapper, two different methods to start a Java application.
