I noticed that some updates to java packages have moved the jar file

org.eclipse.osgi_3.10.0.v20140918-0803.jar.
For Equinox (org.eclipse.osgi_*.jar) you should use
/usr/share/java/eclipse/osgi.jar symlink, which is always up-to-date and
points to lib/ or lib64/ depending on system arch (noarch packages can
have symlinks to osgi.jar, but not org.eclipse.osgi_*.jar).
I didn't create the osgi.* symlink nor do I think my package directly
depends upon it. It is likely a dep of a dep and may not really affect
my package but could others that were built in the same timeframe as
mine was last built. The broken symlink was created by xmvn-resolve.
I've noticed that a current build is using a different link so something
might have changed since the package was last built. I never set the
dep or otherwise interacted with it. I'd bet there are other packages
in the same boat.
For log4j12, I don't see any problem. Can you provide more details?
A bug was fixed in log4j12 that moved the jar from _jnidir to _javadir,
thus breaking the symlinks in packages built before the change.
Is there a plan to do another mass rebuild of the java bits? If not,
can we schedule one?
We're already after Alpha release, I don't think we can or should have
any mass rebuild. Instead we should focus on finding and fixing bugs in
individual packages.
The fix for me is easy as a simple rebuild fixes my problem. It doesn't
help solve the problem for any other packages that might have the same
problems or others dependencies that aren't affecting my package. The
list of affected packages is potentially pretty long for these two
issues so that's why I suggested a mass rebuild. Is there another
option other than having all affected package maintainers inspect their
packages and rebuild if necessary?
