I don't really know about Java. However it looks as if just
renaming the jar as %{name}.jar is sufficient, right? Just
renaming it won't break anything?
Huh, that must be one of weirder packaging issues I've seen in a long time :-0 Yes, your jar file should not have version in it otherwise applications using symlinks will break if the version changes. Simple rename will do. libguestfs-java is not required by anything (yet) so it definitely won't cause any issues. I fixed this in Rawhide:

Don't use versioned jar file (RHBZ#1022133).
Not built yet.

Package libguestfs seems to contain versioned jar files in %{_javadir} (/usr/share/java). Such versioned files cause problems for automatic requires generation and violate packaging guidelines[1]. List of subpackages and contained versioned jars libguestfs-java: /usr/share/java/libguestfs-1.22.6.jar /usr/share/java/libguestfs-1.22.6.jar There are cases where this can be a false positive. Most likely if: * your package is compatibility version and contains only versioned jars * your package has version in the name of jars that are part of package name Thank you, [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java#Filenames
