Description Mikolaj Izdebski 2012-04-16 11:10:33 UTC
The geronimo-osgi-support package is bundling it's dependencies. (Even core Java classes like java.lang.Object are bundled.)

Comment 1 Mikolaj Izdebski 2012-05-09 08:53:33 UTC
geronimo-osgi-support is bundling many an external libraries.

According to Fedora Java Packaging Guidelines this is unacceptable. See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java#Pre-built_JAR_files_.2F_Other_bundled_software

The list of bundled Java packages is:

	info.dmtree.*
	info.dmtree.notification.*
	info.dmtree.notification.spi.*
	info.dmtree.registry.*
	info.dmtree.security.*
	info.dmtree.spi.*
	java.io.*
	java.lang.*
	java.lang.ref.*
	java.lang.reflect.*
	java.math.*
	java.net.*
	java.security.*
	java.security.acl.*
	java.security.cert.*
	java.security.interfaces.*
	java.security.spec.*
	java.text.*
	java.text.resources.*
	java.util.*
	java.util.jar.*
	java.util.zip.*
	javax.microedition.io.*
	javax.servlet.*
	javax.servlet.http.*

Those classes often don't match their corresponding non-bundled versions. Many of them refer to native code. There's quite high chance that there were some security bugfixes, which obviously couldn't affect geronimo-osgi-support.

Because of the above I would appreciate if bundled librarioes were removed from geronimo-osgi-support packaging and added as external dependencies.
