A question about this which is semi-related to your email.
For some C library packages we have Java bindings, eg:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/tree/master/java
These have been disabled in Fedora for ~2 years, but when they were
around they had these BuildRequires:
BuildRequires: java-1.8.0-openjdk
BuildRequires: java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
BuildRequires: jpackage-utils
I believe the only requirements are javac, javah, javadoc (optional)
and a JVM to run the tests on.
Is it possible to keep this going, or would that require a lot of
work? I notice that javah no longer seems to exist.
(Note I know almost nothing about how the modern JDK works)
Rich.
