Hello,
I uploaded php-java-bridge Debian 4.0 package files to the project "Files" area.
The needed source files for building your own Debian package were uploaded too.
Please, read the release notes at the site.
Please, send packaging suggestions and corrections.

AFAIK there is no "php_java.dll" file packaged with
PHP 5.2.0. The last supported version was 4.2.x, see

http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=7679

and the documentation that's part of the PHP download.

Yes. But this shouldn't be an issue. Even in the worst
case (one round-trip for each statement) our pure PHP
implementation is still faster than a comm. via SOAP.
Furthermore this issue only exists with the C based
PHP
version. The Java based PHP version can (and does) 
optimize the code through the JIT.

But back to the documentation issue; 
I think the real problem are the users who blindly
download a compiled php_java.dll from
http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_java.dll and 
expect that it somehow works; without looking at 
the documentation.

More (i.e. redundant) documentation doesn't help imho,

users won't read it anyway.
