https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1098424 Bug ID: 1098424 Summary: tycho: Java class bundling/"static linking" Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: tycho Assignee: rgrunber(a)redhat.com Reporter: fweimer(a)redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: java-sig-commits(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, krzysztof.daniel(a)gmail.com, mat.booth(a)redhat.com, mizdebsk(a)redhat.com, rgrunber(a)redhat.com Blocks: 1098237 tycho-0.20.0-6.fc21.noarch bundles many class files which are also available from other Fedora packages. Here are a few examples: /usr/share/java/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho.surefire.junit.jar contains org/apache/maven/surefire/common/junit3/JUnit3Reflector, also part of maven-surefire-provider-junit-0:2.17-1.fc21.noarch. /usr/share/java/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho.surefire.junit4.jar contains org/apache/maven/surefire/common/junit3/JUnit3TestChecker, also from maven-surefire-provider-junit-0:2.17-1.fc21.noarch. /usr/share/java/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho.surefire.osgibooter.jar contains the class org/codehaus/plexus/util/AbstractScanner, which is part of plexus-utils-3.0.16-2.fc21.noarch. /usr/share/java/tycho/tycho-bundles-external.zip contains org/apache/commons/logging/Log from apache-commons-logging-1.1.3-11.fc21.noarch, org/apache/commons/codec/BinaryDecoder from apache-commons-codec-1.9-2.fc21.noarch, org/apache/http/auth/AUTH from httpcomponents-client-4.3.3-1.fc21.noarch, org/apache/http/ConnectionClosedException from httpcomponents-core-4.3.2-1.fc21.noarch, org/sat4j/AbstractLauncher from sat4j-2.3.5-3.fc21.noarch. It seems that at least some of these class files are copied from build dependencies into the JAR files of the tycho RPM. Such bundling/static linking is against the Fedora packaging guidelines, specifically <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries>;.
