<html><body> Hello Team, I have created a charm for Java SDK. I got a suggestion from Canonical to create this as a library instead of charm as this would be used with other products. I was exploring this a little bit and found that this to be done if we check-in the Java installable to Ubuntu’s repositories like (Main, Universe, Multiverse, and Restricted) so that Java SDK will be distributed as a library to the Ubuntu users. For this it looks like there is no need of Juju charms and it is just to keep the binaries in the Ubuntu's repositories. Is this understanding correct? I got confused as we were working on Juju charms and if we need to implement in the above mentioned approach, Juju charms is not coming into picture. Also I would like to add that there could be licensing and copyright issues along with this which we may need to get clarification from the product team. Also I referred placing Java SDK installable to the Ubuntu repository using PPA (Personal Package Archives) in the Launchpad. Is this also something we can try with to make this product as library? Also we have seen some charms which are developed as subordinate charms. Is this anyway related to making the product as library? As per my understanding making it subordinate just make sure that this is a dependent charm. Can you give me some directions on how to make a product as library? Is it in any of the above approaches or is it totally different from these? Thanks and Regards, Prabakaran </body></html>
