How to change the build dependencies of a Debian source package?

I am trying to work with OpenIMS. you can find a walk-through of it in here

when trying to build packages for openimscore_fhoss, using this piece of command:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

it fails to build packages and says:

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: sun-java6-jdk dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting

I have openjdk and openjre already installed. is there any way to make dpkg, depend on openjdk instead of sun-java6-jdk ??

You need to modify the debian/control file, specifically the Build Dependencies section. Remember to be sure that the build dependencies are about a specific package instead a virtual/meta package. This is to have an assurance that things will workout.
