There is also a weird form of static linking (copying of JAR files into
other JAR files):

I think we discussed this before, but the discussion never came to a
real conclusion.


AFAIK we (Java SIG) put these cases on the same level as bundling and treat them accordingly. So all of them are genuine bugs (in Fedora) and tracking them definitely makes sense. Upstream projects sometimes use these techniques to provide so called "uber" JARs, e.g. [1], or to overcome ABI breakages in popular libraries [2], [3] - by including package-renamed classes from dependencies in resulting JAR.
