Well, we cannot allow just using the bundled binaries! There are various 
technical and legal concerns that make this a no go. But:

that is fine (if you really replace ALL bundled JARs with versions built 
from source in Fedora), and as Fabio explained, we already have scripting 
for that.

But IMHO, you'll really want to replace the JARs with symlinks to the system 
versions *twice* in the build process: once before building (because you do 
not want to build against a bundled binary blob, which may or may not be 
compatible with the system version), and once after installing (because you 
want to ship symlinks rather than copies).
