[fedora-java] Eclipse WTP problems...

...there are many :/
Hi java folk,
None of the Eclipse WTP stack is currently built on f19, and most of it
needs to be updated, and upstream has moved from cvs to git. I'm going
to focus as much of my time-available-to-spend-on-fedora as I can, to
rectifying that, but I'm running into some issues that I'll need help
with:
1. eclipse-wtp-common has been bundling a jar for a long time[0], and I
tried to fix that, by deleting and rebuilding that jar using javac/jar
commands. Problem is I was using %{_libdir} to add a jar from
eclipse-platform to the classpath, and eclipse-platform is archfull but
this package is noarch. Is there a better solution? It's not my package,
so I don't want to do something like make it archfull if that's not
necessary.
2. I've proposed a patch for eclipse-wtp-servertools[1] a while back
that hasn't seen any activity.
Eclipse WTP packages in Fedora basically need to be build in the order:
common, servertools, sourceediting, webservices (I can't remember what's
after that, but the rest are mostly my packages, so I'll figure that out
when I get that far). The problem here is that the first three are not
mine, and the maintainer for servertools/sourceediting doesn't seem to
be very active at the moment, and I'm not going to try to update
sourceediting and propose a patch until I can build it against common
and servertools without having to hack unmerged packages into mock. I've
applied for acls on both in pkgdb, and I'm happy to spend time whipping
them into shape, since a significant percentage of my packages depend on
them directly.
There are other problems with WTP packages, but these are the most
immediate ones, and the others escape me right now. If anybody can
propose solutions to the above, or move things along in any way, I'd
really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Gerard.
