[fedora-java] Open Xchange

Hey all,

I am working on a RPM for Open Xchange (http://www.open-xchange.org/)
for FC5. Since OX uses some com.sun stuff it is a bit of a hack. First i
added a CVS snapshot of the classpath javamail becuase OX needed the
Rights class, that i could not find in the "normal" FC5 javamail. This
all doesn't really work yet but it compiles. 

Since you need to login in OX before you can do something that is the
first thing that should work, and here is the next problem, i need a
LdapName class. I found one in the apache directory package but thats
huge (like 5 times bigger than OX) and needs maven to compile. 
Does anybody know a good replacement for LdapName ? 

Than some general questions on how to install java programs, for example
the default "make install" of OX installs its jar files
in /usr/lib64/open-xchange/. Wouldn't /usr/share/java/open-xchange/ be
better ? How to deal with different versions on the same package, for
example the mentioned javamail package, i now have it
as /usr/share/java/open-xchange/ox_javamail.jar, since it is only of use
to OX (it is a CVS snappshot, i don't want to break other applications
with it).

TIA,

Erwin
