Hello, recently a few new RPM macros that ease patching pom.xml files were introduced. Instead of creating and maintaining series of traditional patches you can now call %pom_* macros directly from the %prep section. These macros are described in /etc/rpm/macros.fjava, which is installed with javapackages-tools. There is also some guidance on usage of these macros included in the draft of Java packaging guidelines, available at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Akurtakov/JavaPackagingDraftUpdate#Patching_Maven_pom.xml_files Feel free to use these macros in your packages. For now this feature is available in Fedora Rawhide only, but there are plans on backporting it to Fedora 16 and 17. If you find any bugs or have any suggestions, please report them (here, on IRC or in Bugzilla -- javapackages-tools component).
