I have a java application (created as a class) and I want to know how I can (or should I even) convert it to .deb format and then how to upload it to a Launchpad PPA so that everyone could install it?
Notice that I am still learning Java, so my program does not have any GUI.
Packaging is quite a long process and here I am assuming that you are ready to go through the trouble. Since Ubuntu is based on Debian and fetches almost all the packages from the Debian repository, I believe the packaging schemes in both are the same. Please refer to this : http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/
