These should be available through the jpackage macros from
jpackage-utils (see /etc/rpm/macros.jpackage).

Not at all. If you follow the JPackage conventions you will support any
distribution which carries jpackage-utils. These include: ALT, Fedora,
Mandriva, PCLOS, Red Hat, Suse, and possibly others.

This means using java-devel like I said and not relying on the Sun
conventions (this also allows you to support multiple JDK versions and
not just multiple Linux distributions with a single JDK version). Also,
since Sun supported the DLJ Java packages, at least Mandriva is shipping
JPackage-compliant DLJ Sun Java bundles with their OS which would be far
superior to any Sun packaging offering due to JPackage compliance.

This also means, like I said in a previous email, that I don't think
additional macros are needed, but check the macros file first and see if
you think anything is missing.
