java, *.src.jar packaging

2010-04-14 Thread Paweł Zuzelski 
Hello,

sometimes it is convenient to have java sources (.src.jar file)
installed. These files act as documentation. They are used by IDEs
together with javadoc for completion, hilithing etc.

I would like to add -source subpackage to some java libraries.

My question is: where to install .src.jar files?

 1. to /usr/share/java - but there is already to many files

 2. to %{_docdir} (/usr/share/doc/%{name}-source) - I don't think
it's a good idea

 3. create new directory, like /usr/share/javasrc - Needs
modification in packages that provides jdk

As far as I know other distros don't package these files at all, so
there is no convention to follow.

we also have %{_examplesdir} which could fit.
