What jpackage did is no-source java srpms, meaning you have to download
the legally-questionable blob to rpm SOURCES dir yourself before
starting the no-downloads srpm build process. Also the srpm scripting
killed the annoying interactive click-to-say-you've-read-the-license
part of the sun blob decompression process. So jpackage is both
non-interactive and no-downloads in the build phase

Find some other excuse ;)
