Aren't jni files dlopened? If it is the case they should not be

Are there packaging guidelines for java where such issues are
explained?
Actually, I think you are right, but traditionally they have been but in
%{_libdir}, and *jars* which depend on libraries have gone in %{_jnidir}
= %{_libdir}/jni, per the JPackage 1.5 spec.
Is it also a problem having jars (non-binaries) inside %{_libdir}? Then
maybe %{_jnidir} should be %{_datadir}/jni then?
I would tend to think that Debian is more correct here:
Libraries: %{_libdir}/jni
Jars that dlopen() these libraries: {_libdir}/java
So, JPackage is sort of backwards from Debian, but I am not sure if that
jar directory makes sense.
I would like to implement this in Fedora, but jpackage-utils is not
mulitlib-aware. Given that jpackage-utils installs directories in /usr/lib, it
would make sense to make it architecture-specific. Currently, we use the
simpler approach of hard-coding _libdir to /usr/lib64 in the spec files of
64-bit JDKs and appending .%{_arch} to their JAVA_HOME directories. I haven't
done much research into making jpackage-utils multilib (i.e., checked how Debian
and Gentoo handle this), but at some point we should probably go back and design
jpackage-utils/multilib interaction more thoroughly.
