Description of problem: eclipse-cdt-sdk package is installing JAR files into wrong locations. According to Java packaging guidelines[1] all architecture-independent JAR files MUST go into %{_javadir} or a Java-version specific directory %{_javadir}-* as appropriate and JAR files using JNI or containing JNI shared objects themselves MUST be placed in %{_jnidir}. eclipse-cdt package violates that guidelines by installing JAR files into other directories. If JAR were put into some non-standard directory for technical reasons then these JARs should be moved to proper locations (as described in the guidelines[1]) and symbolic links can be placed in the previous location. Besides eclipse-cdt-sdk, 2 other binary packages built from eclipse-cdt source package seem to install files into wrong location. The full list is is: * eclipse-cdt * eclipse-cdt-parsers * eclipse-cdt-sdk I am not going to attach the full list of JAR files, but this list can be obtained using repoquery: repoquery --repoid rawhide -l eclipse-cdt eclipse-cdt-parsers eclipse-cdt-sdk | grep '\.jar$' | grep -v /usr/share/java | grep -v /usr/lib/java Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 8.1.2-1 Additional info: [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines
I was not aware that the separate Eclipse guidelines was officially approved packaging guidelines. See comment in bug#923270 for more details. Because of the above I am closing this bug now.
