Hi,

I'm currently working on update of some java packages from OBS project 
Java:jpackage-1.7 to stable. So I'm also trying to build some of these 
packages with icedtea.

Some of them should be builded (like adaptx) with small patches, some of them 
currently not (like hsqldb). But the switch to icedtea is not an automated 
process anymore, so if the autobuild team switches the compiler, majority of 
java packages will not be builded and needs to do some patches or revert back 
to the non free compiler. I can update a package and try to build it by 
icedtea, so I'm be able to switch the BuildRequire to 
java-1_7_0-icedtea-devel, if it works.

The problem is, that the icedtea is only for i386 and a x86_64 available. On 
ppc or s390 we are using an IBM's compiler only. But a majority of a java 
packages is noarch, because a Java bytecode is architecture indepentent. I'm 
not sure, if I should use something like

%ifarch %ix86 x86_64
BuildRequires:  java-1_7_0-icedtea-devel
%else
BuildRequires:  java-devel
%endif

in a spec file for noarch packages.

May I try to build the most of java packages using icedtea? And if yes, how to 
do that? Use of the %ifarch in spec?

Regards
Michal Vyskocil
