I read http://en.opensuse.org/Java/Packaging/Cookbook and it states "the convient approach in Linux distribution is use of the system jars" for third party jars. I don't know if you are aware of the maven repository but packaging third party jars in rpm manually is currently a little redundant. The maven repository provides a lot of meta data including dependencies on java archive files and is kept quite up to date plus is mirrored. Wouldn't it make more sense to integrate somehow the maven repository to zipper and be able to retrieve dependencies from a java program from maven? Or another approach could be a gateway from maven to rpm. Erik. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
