DH_NATIVEJAVA(1)						     Debhelper							  DH_NATIVEJAVA(1)

NAME
dh_nativejava - compile jar files to native code and register them SYNOPSIS
dh_nativejava [debhelper options] [-n] [-o] [--sourcedir=dir] DESCRIPTION
dh_nativejava is a debhelper program that is responsible for compiling jars to native code and to make them known to the system. It also automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands needed to updated the global classmap database and adds a dependency on libgcj-common in the misc:Depends substitution variable. OPTIONS
-n, --noscripts Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts. -o, --onlyscripts Only modify postinst/postrm scripts, do not actually compile any files or register them. May be useful if the files are already built and registered. --destdir=directory Use this if you want the compiled files to be put in a directory other than the default of "/usr/lib/gcj" NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts. SEE ALSO
