[fedora-java] Searching for Java classes in Fedora packages - java-deptools in Fedora Cloud

This is pretty cool, and would love to have something similar for OSGi
metadata in Fedora. There's already capabilities for querying this kind
of metadata directly from a filesystem and doing it from rpms shouldn't
be too tricky.
