Summary: tycho: Java class bundling/"static linking"
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Component: tycho

tycho-0.20.0-6.fc21.noarch bundles many class files which are also available
from other Fedora packages. Here are a few examples:
/usr/share/java/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho.surefire.junit.jar contains
org/apache/maven/surefire/common/junit3/JUnit3Reflector, also part of
maven-surefire-provider-junit-0:2.17-1.fc21.noarch.
/usr/share/java/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho.surefire.junit4.jar contains
org/apache/maven/surefire/common/junit3/JUnit3TestChecker, also from
maven-surefire-provider-junit-0:2.17-1.fc21.noarch.
/usr/share/java/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho.surefire.osgibooter.jar contains the
class org/codehaus/plexus/util/AbstractScanner, which is part of
plexus-utils-3.0.16-2.fc21.noarch.
/usr/share/java/tycho/tycho-bundles-external.zip contains
org/apache/commons/logging/Log from
apache-commons-logging-1.1.3-11.fc21.noarch,
org/apache/commons/codec/BinaryDecoder from
apache-commons-codec-1.9-2.fc21.noarch, org/apache/http/auth/AUTH from
httpcomponents-client-4.3.3-1.fc21.noarch,
org/apache/http/ConnectionClosedException from
httpcomponents-core-4.3.2-1.fc21.noarch, org/sat4j/AbstractLauncher from
sat4j-2.3.5-3.fc21.noarch.
It seems that at least some of these class files are copied from build
dependencies into the JAR files of the tycho RPM. Such bundling/static linking
is against the Fedora packaging guidelines, specifically
<
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries>.
