[fedora-java] Packaging RXTX

[Alphonse Van Assche]

Hi all,

I need some help to packaging RXTX from (rxtx.org). This library is 
needed to build the Terminal serial line connector of the Eclipse TM 
(Target Management) project. The serial connector use only two libs of 
RXTX, librxtxParallel.so and librxtxSerial.so.

My first idea was to create a dedicate package for RXTX but the problem 
is that RXTX native libs need to live in ...java/lib/arch (it's a JRE 
extension), so the package can only be installed for the default JRE.

Martin Oberhuber (the TM Project Lead) have work on a RXTX Eclipse 
bundles so that it can be used in Eclipse plugins with a "vanilla" JRE, 
nice work! These bundles include the native libs and the classes.

So the second idea is to build RXTX inside the eclipse-rxtx package and 
  replace the native libs and the .class files before building the RXTX 
plugins.

PS: RXTX bundles are not yet available on the web but Martin work on 
that with Trent Jarvi (upstream guy) to get an update site on the 
rxtx.org web site, see 
http://mailman.qbang.org/pipermail/rxtx/Week-of-Mon-20070129/848211.html 
for more details.

Any help would be appreciate.

Thanks,
Alphonse
