So long as the resulting JAR has the correct manifest and structure, it's
all good.

In any event, I ran into some path problems in building the RPM because,
to get the latest Java code, I used:

wget http://dev.gknw.com/viewvc/curl-java-root.tar.gz

and then ran buildconf to create the configure script, however, I was out
of my depth because eventually I ran into:

[makerpm_at_arrakis ~]$ rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/curl-java.spec
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.LZDZDz

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.LZDZDz (%prep)
[makerpm_at_arrakis ~]$

Which, I *think* is an artifact of how the tarball was obtained (?).
Previously I had downloaded from:

http://www.gknw.net/mirror/curl/curl_java/

However, the downloads there are no longer current. Admittedly I'm a bit
out of my depth here, but I believe that the path problems can be
attributed to the tarball.

(I tried fiddling with curl-java.spec to fix path problems, but didn't
really get anywhere.)

thanks,
