It's before my time, but long long ago Red Hat renamed the "apache" RPM
to httpd at the request of the Apache organization, who have long
tried to make sure people don't conflate Apache with just that piece of
software. We could probably document this better — I think it's become
one of those things that "everyone just knows".
Given the hassles I mentioned above, how were they worked around to
build the httpd binaries?
You can see the spec file — the build recipe — for Fedora's httpd
package at
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/httpd/blob/master/f/httpd.spec
Everything in Fedora is "self hosted" — there are no external build
dependencies. I'm not sure about the specifics, but either they're
available in other packages, bundled into that one, or configured or
patched out so they're not required.
Thankyou Matthew, I've looked at the spec file and Fedora's Apache build
has indeed excluded distcache.
Having decided to go down the netbeans/glassfish path I have installed
version 8.2 of netbeans from Oracle and have determined that their
version of netbeans does not work with either Openjdk9 or Openjdk8. With
Openjdk8 netbeans crashed on new project creation and with Openjdk9
netbeans hangs on new project creation with an Invalid Reflection Error,
but it works fine with Oracle's JDK8 having installed that from their
supplied rpm. Also with Openjdk, at least under Gnome, when I launch
netbeans under my userid I get a murrine scrollbar error but if I launch
netbeans under root I don't get the error and there is a significant
improvement in the visual quality of the gui interface, so I'm not sure
what is happening there.

Steve
