Bug#656872: javahelper: jh_build is unable to build jar files

[Miguel Landaeta]

Package: javahelper
Version: 0.39
Severity: important

Hi,

There is a error somewhere in jh_build with jar files generation.
AIUI, jh_build is looking for an inexistant manifest file in debian folder.

When I try to build simple packages like libjsr166y-java or atinject-jsr330,
I got error messages like this one:

/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/jar cfm /home/miguel/pkg/libjsr166y-java/libjsr166y-java-1.7.0/jsr166y.jar ../_jh_manifest.jsr166y jsr166y
java.io.FileNotFoundException: ../_jh_manifest.jsr166y (No such file or directory)

dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1350:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed


When I inspect my source packages I found there is no debian/_jh_manifest.$FOO
file but there is one named debian/__jh_manifest.$FOO.

This doesn't happen with javahelper 0.37 currently available in wheezy.
As I said you can verify this trying to build libjsr166y-java, atinject-jsr330
or probably any other simple package relying on jh_build to build.
