Description Mikolaj Izdebski 2013-03-19 15:28:49 UTC
Description of problem:
eclipse-jbosstools-ws 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-jbosstools 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-jbosstools-ws, 9 other binary packages built from
eclipse-jbosstools source package seem to install files into wrong location.
The full list is is:
  * eclipse-jbosstools-archives
  * eclipse-jbosstools-as
  * eclipse-jbosstools-cdi
  * eclipse-jbosstools-common
  * eclipse-jbosstools-freemarker
  * eclipse-jbosstools-jmx
  * eclipse-jbosstools-jst
  * eclipse-jbosstools-runtime
  * eclipse-jbosstools-usage
  * eclipse-jbosstools-ws

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-jbosstools-archives eclipse-jbosstools-as eclipse-jbosstools-cdi eclipse-jbosstools-common eclipse-jbosstools-freemarker eclipse-jbosstools-jmx eclipse-jbosstools-jst eclipse-jbosstools-runtime eclipse-jbosstools-usage eclipse-jbosstools-ws | grep '\.jar$' | grep -v /usr/share/java | grep -v /usr/lib/java

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.0.0-1

Comment 1 Mikolaj Izdebski 2013-03-19 15:59:33 UTC
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.
