    If “filius” is an end program, not a library that others could use,
    I’d say place the JAR and resources both in /usr/share/filius/, skip
    putting the JAR into /usr/share/java/. But that’s just my opinion,
    others can put in something from best practices or so.

    Hi Thorsten, tony, all,

    many thanks for your help! It almost started working now: I added a
    wrapper script as suggested by tony and got rid of the missing class definitions. However, the next challenge turned up: filius uses some 'resources' [1] which need to be available and I am not sure how to
    solve this best. So far, they are not deployed by the packet
    automatically, but a debian/libfilius-java.install file solves this.

    The 'resources' are expected relative to /usr/share/java/filius.jar in directories (i.e. config/filius.ini). How is it best to handle this
    situation? Is it possible to tweak the path somehow (in the wrapper
    script?) or do I need to patch the sources? Right now, I copy the
    resources to /usr/share/filius/.

    Many thanks in advance for help and hints,

    Andi
