[fedora-java] Why does eclipse now require lucene-devel?

Because eclipse.org ships a lucene-src jar that we wanted to symlink to.
So our lucene package grew a lucene-devel which contains lucene-src to
which we can symlink from the Eclipse SDK.

So you've been using the JPackage lucene with Fedora Eclipse?
Interesting.  We don't usually recommend mixing repos like that due to
possible API differences between versions of things like lucene.  Did
the Eclipse help system indexing work for you?  That's where it uses
lucene.

We'll have to make sure the new version works with Eclipse.  ISTR it not
compiling against it but I guess we should investigate.  Upstream is
reluctant to move their dependencies forward like this.
