User1: Hi I have written a desktop app in java and packaged it in to a  .deb I have uploaded it to the debian-mentors but had no reply to sponser it would submitting it to Motu be a good alternative?
User2: finding a motu sponsor probably won't get easy either
User1: ok the only other alternative I suppose it to make it into a snap
User1: *is
User3: User1 have you tried the #debian-mentors channel? and please share the link to the package on mentors.
User3: ah I guess it's highlighterpdf id you're gerry webster
User1: yes thats it
User3: User1 I've had good success recently filing RFS (request for sponsorship) bugs, but it's a good idea to make sure your package is lintian clean first
User3: User1 for now it has some big problems, for example, it contains a prebuild java object
User3: User1 it's probably a good idea to work through those problems one by one and ask for specific assistance where you need it
User1: ok thank you for your reply
User1: it only came up with something from lintian when I made it unstable to be able for the upload to work
User3: gerr<tab>
User1: hi highvoltage was trying to give me some advice on uploading my program to debian-mentors are you still here?
User3: still here
User3: User1 so, your source package must contain the source code for highlighterpdf. and should build the .jar file for your binary (.deb) package
User1: oh good sorry about that got interrupted. so the classes etc in netbeans not all bundled in a jar file?
User3: User1 yep.
User1: oh ok I will start again I have had so many problems over something that seems so simple I have felt like giving up thank you for your help
User3: User1 I'd suggest going through https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/ch04.en.html just to get the basic concepts right. otherwise, it might be helpful looking at source packages of other java projects, and if you ask specific questions here or on #debian-mentors and you hang around long enough, then you should get good answers
User1: ok thank you I will
