[fedora-java] osgi system bundle
Hi, all. This morning I was dealing with a build issue related to
broken eclipse package, and it surprised me that eclipse was being
pulled into my buildroot for a random java package. The root of this
is that osgi(system.bundle) is provided by eclipse-rcp, which requires
eclipse-platform, and osgi(system.bundle) is now being required by
some fairly commonly used java packages:
xalan-j2-0:2.7.1-13.fc18.noarch
xbean-0:3.11.1-3.fc18.noarch
xml-commons-apis-0:1.4.01-7.fc18.noarch
xml-commons-resolver-0:1.2-9.fc18.noarch
In particular, xalan-j2 is required for pretty much the entire java
ecosystem, including ant, maven, groovy, various apache-commons
packages, etc.
So what's the rationale for this? Perhaps this is a bug? Maybe
something needs to be subpackaged differently? The current state of
things seems a bit bloated to me.
Thanks.
Andy
