Description Stanislav Ochotnicky 2013-10-22 15:48:52 UTC 
Package libphidget 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
libphidget-java:
/usr/share/java/phidget21.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,

The name of the jar file matches the name of of the C header and library provided by the package, so I think it's a false positive.  If you disagree, I don't really have a problem changing it.

I'm not a java expert, but it looks like the phidget jar file is implemented using jni, and the native components are embedded in libphidget21.so along with the C api.  Should I be putting phidget21.jar in %{_jnidir} instead of %{_datadir}/java?

Most of Java upstreams provide JARs with versions, but in Fedora we still install them with the version stripped (except for few cases, which are explained in the guidelines).

Yes, it should go to %{_jnidir}.

Moved datadir/java/phidget21.jar to jnidir/phidget.jar
