Many problem to packaging a java-gnome app for FE

[alcapcom]

Hello List,

1. rpmlint give warning about "class-path-in-manifest"? how to define
the class path for my jars files, in the  launches scripts?
2. aot-compile-rpm tool create only one .so file for 3 jar files, is that ok?
3. How configue a ant javadoc task, that find the sources for the
other packages.
4. During extracting debug information, there is several cpio error:
/path/to/class.java: No such file or directory. How to solve this
problem?

That's ok.  If you look you'll see subset warnings for the other two:

  aot-compile-rpm: warning: subsetted /path/to/3ddesktop-info-0.1.jar
  aot-compile-rpm: warning: subsetted /path/to/3ddesktop-switch-0.1.jar

A subset warning basically means that all the classes in one jarfile
are contained in another.  You only need one compiled copy of a class
on your system, so it doesn't bother to compile the duplicates.

Cheers,
Gary

Yes. At least according to JPackage policy, you remove the Class-Path
from the manifest, and specify the list of jars in the launch script.

In Fedora, they don't always follow this. But here is an example on how
you might do it.

#!/bin/sh

# Source functions library
. /usr/share/java-utils/java-functions

# Source system prefs
if [ -f /etc/azureus.conf ] ; then
    . /etc/azureus.conf
fi

# Source user prefs
if [ -f $HOME/.azureusrc ] ; then
    . $HOME/.azureusrc
fi

# Configuration
MAIN_CLASS="org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main"
BASE_FLAGS="-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib64
- -Dgnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader.library_control=never
- -Dazureus.install.path=..."
BASE_JARS="Azureus2 bcprov-jdk14 jakarta-commons-cli log4j swt-gtk
gtk2.8 glib0.2"

# Set parameters
set_jvm
set_classpath $BASE_JARS
set_flags $BASE_FLAGS

# Let's start
run "$@"

As far as I know, you have to patch build.xml to use the <link /> tag
inside the <javadoc> tag.

I don't know why it can't resolve the classes automatically, or at least
use a JAVADOCPATH which is similar to CLASSPATH. I wish this could be
implemented in gjdoc at least.

It is a beautiful way for making the trick,  I takes; :)
By the way, thanks also for gjdoc, I did not know it.
