gcc-java vs java-sun-tools

[Arkadiusz Miskiewicz]

There is a problem with gcc-java vs java-sun-tools. These packages are 
conflicting on each other but tons of java specs require one or another. This 
means that manual uninstalling/installing on builders is required.

I guess that the only one conflicting file is /usr/bin/jar - I'm thinking 
about adding gcc-java-tools package with jar binary only but... it seems that 
such subpackage was already there and was removed:

Revision 1.298  2005/05/11 21:20:15  pluto
- gcc-java-tools mreged into gcc-java.
  this package isn't common for every java implementation now.


The other solution would be putting Obsoletes without Conflicts in each 
package so there would be no problems on builders (installation deps based 
would work) ...

Any ideas how other distros deal with this problem?
