[fedora-java] Packaging of Eclipse Orbit "wrappers"

Hi,

I'm working on packaging eclipse-webtools to replace the existing
eclipse-wtp-* (update nightmare) packages, and would like to solicit
some advice/opinion!

Currently, eclipse-wtp-webservices package[0] does this horrible thing
where it has Source entries for these awful wrapper bundles from
Eclipse Orbit, for axis and apache-commons-discovery. Originally the
package didn't do this, but then it was discovered that it needs to or
stuff breaks[1], because these wrappers bundle the axis &
apache-commons-discovery jars, and copy them to resources folder of
some web project types at project creation.

I think the way this is currently being done in
eclipse-wtp-webservices is not the place where this should happen, but
I'm not sure where is. I've got a couple of ideas, but not sure which
should be done, if any:

1. Have subpackages of axis/commons-discovery for these wrappers to
put them in their own locations in Eclipse dropins directory?

2. Have a different package, something like "eclipse-orbit-wrappers"
that has packages for each of these, and processes them into locations
in Eclipse dropins directory?

Does anyone have an opinion or better solution for this?
