Hi Nikhil, be welcomed. We greatly appreciate your interest in PMD. I've briefly reviewed your options and have a couple questions. 1. pkgcreator seems abandoned. It was a user project of Google Code (not from Google), which seems to have never been migrated elsewhere. Getting fixes, updates or support seems out of the question. Have you considered this during your analysis? 2. have you considered any Maven plugins to generate deb packages? If so, why were they discarded? There are a bunch of alternatives, and being on Maven, which is our build system, would streamline the process; but maybe I'm missing a downside due to lack of experience with them. As for other platforms have you been able to research any alternatives?
