After installing net-proxy/webscarab-20060718 I noticed that the application complains upon startup that "JavaHelp" is not present. I therefore emerged dev-java/javahelp-2.0.02_p46 also. The complaint did not go away. I then copied all files /usr/share/javahelp/lib/j* to /opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0.12/jre/lib/ext (which is presumably my "java extension directory"). After doing this I could start webscarab with no complaint. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge webscarab 2. Start webscarab (I started it as root). Actual Results: Complaints in the console output, saying "The JavaHelp libraries could not be found", "Please add jhall.jar to the extension directory of your Java Runtime environment". Built-in help not usable. Expected Results: No complaint, built-in help usable. Maybe javahelp should be a dependency of webscarab. Then there is also the additional configuration problem of making webscarab find the jhall.jar jarfile and such; I don't know that should best be solved.

Should be solved by using java eclasses and functions in the ebuild, namely java-pkg_dojar to install the jar, and java-pkg_dolauncher to create the launcher (using main class and not -jar as -jar doesn't allow to set custom CLASSPATH) instead of the script in FILESDIR. Also, the package should ideally be built from source as sources seem available.
Java team, please attach an ebuild that builds the package from source. I don't know much java :(
This is completely dead for ages and upstream points people to use Zed Attack Proxy Project instead
