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.
There is idea* about plugins for zypper. Maybe this could be implemented as such plugin, which could use maven metadata and provide virtual packages like java-maven-{name} for installing and uninstalling.
I guess support for a new repository and package format is rather a libzypp/satsolver feature request than a task for a zypper plugin. Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
