However packaging is a bit tricky. 1) jgrep normally requires maven at build time but there are no maven at openSUSE Factory. 2) Maven requires about *teen plugins for jgrep and no one is packaged at all. That is why upstream and I decided to let maintainer make jar file and invoke it at %prep stage.
Is *.jar bundling allowed at OBS? openSUSE Factory?
for the same reasons we do the same for jenkins, which is in OBS but not Factory. The major downside of the method is that you lose many advantages of free software, e.g. the possibility to add patches to add experimental patches (before they go upstream). And you also need to take greater care to fulfill the license (e.g. ship the source for (L)GPL). There is https://github.com/moio/tetra allowing to build a package from source, but it still leaves the 100 deps as binary-only-jars. And often the patches we needed were in bundled jars, not jenkins itself. So also not perfect. During past years several people have tried and failed to improve the maven packaging mess.
