Another jar that is widely reused but pretty difficult to package separately is the ldap access jar bundled with mozilla (aka ldapsdk) Right now I think we ship a prebuild jar in a separate rpm, because you can't even built it from sources without pulling out a large part of the moz C++ tree too (I know several packagers gave up on it after trying to do something with moz's standalone source dump) Now that Fedora has some form of java support built-in it's probably time to build it with mozilla in a mozilla-something rpm that obsoletes the standalone package we have.
