Yes, quite some. There have been very interesting developments in Debian Java
lately. Slowly, there seem be developed a set of Debian tools to deal with
maintaining Debian package of Java applications and libraries. At this moment,
there only seems to be dh_javadoc, which is a tool in the gjdoc
package. However, people spoke about other tools on the debian-java mailing
list in 2003.
In addition to this, ant has found its way into main, paving to
way for other packages to enter main.
And the eclipse seems to get rather stable. Early August 2003,
the gcj team even was able to compile the IDE to native code, using only minor
modifications.
It is quite useful to first browse the section on Java in Debian GNU/Linux Woody (since those in woody are also in later releases, see Status of Java in Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody), Chapter 3), but there are somes changes. Instead of listing all the packages again, this section will list only changes:
eclipse An extensive IDE
sablevm A free Virtual Machine
free-java-sdk A free Java SDK (compiled from DSFG compliant Java
tools)
libgnome0-java Java bindings to Gnome GUI library
gjdoc A Javadoc 1.3 replacement (90% of Doclet API implemented)
kaffe Release 1.1.3 can run much more software than 1.0.5 in woody
ant Version 1.6 is in main
The following packages are no longer in testing/unstable:
libswing-java Which is mentioned here: How can I make a DFSG compliant Java
GUI program?, Section 6.4.
