Description Severin Gehwolf 2013-02-19 11:03:03 UTC
Description of problem:
Java libraries which depend on swt.jar, fail to build from source if build-classpath swt is used in the spec file. Example:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/9102/4989102/build.log

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latest rawhide version.

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to mock-build jfreechart. The build of the experimental swt bits is failing.
  
Actual results:
build-classpath swt
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Could not find swt Java extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Some specified jars were not found

Expected results:
build-classpath swt
/usr/lib/java/swt.jar

Additional info:
According to mizdebsk:
quote from java guidelines: "%{_jnidir} usually expands into %{_prefix}/lib/java. %{_prefix}/lib64/java will cease its existence and will be decomissioned"

looks like a bug in elclipse
eclipse puts stuff to /usr/lib64, but /usr/lib should be used, even on 64-bit systems

Comment 1 Severin Gehwolf 2013-02-19 12:53:20 UTC
For reference see bug 665576

Comment 2 Mikolaj Izdebski 2013-02-19 13:48:33 UTC
Java packages are currently exempt from multilib, as per FESCO exception [1]. According to current JNI guidelines [2] native code should always be placed in /usr/lib, not %_libdir (%_libdir can be either /usr/lib or /usr/lib64).

In eclipse-swt-4.2.2-0.10.git20121217.fc18.x86_64 /usr/lib/java/swt.jar is a broken symlink:
/usr/lib/java/swt.jar -> ../eclipse/swt.jar
