I can certainly give you some times though I've not been active java-side for some time (but I don't think things have changed much) Basically packaging a java app is: 1. download huge "source" archive 2. remove every pre-built jar/war/ear in it 3. comb it for private source copies of external components, and remove them 4. figure how the file layout should be on disk to respect FHS 5. figure if the result should be split in subpackages 6. try to locate all the deps you've removed in 2. and 3., check they're all already packaged and if not recurse packaging on them 7. create all the classpathes the app uses at build or run time with jpackage routines, add needed builddeps manually 8. build 9. merge everything fedora & jpp-side so hopefully someone volunteers co-maintaining. Merging jpp-side means purging the spec of fedorisms, though our conventions are not as invasive as those of other distros 10. fix bugs 11. re-do the whole dance for new versions 12. profit (actually I lie there is no profit stage) If you manage to do netbeans you'll probably be in a good position to update jpackage doc (in jpackage-utils %doc), copy whatever is relevant to the Fedora wiki, and comment on the "modules" JSR (which is supposed to fix most dependency-building problems in java, except I'm not sure anyone reviewed it yet for rpm integration and when it ships in java 7 it'll be too late) -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
