I think that's a problem of those tools/scripts and not of this package.

lzma-sdk-java is good but on the other hand, lzma's java SDK is called
"SevenZip". Why not just use "SevenZip"? I don't think it mixes up
with 7-zip, as the summaries are very different. Package summaries
show up pretty much everywhere including "yum search foo".

I'd like to remind everyone that unlike perl, tcl/tk, ... ; the word
"java" doesn't need to take part in java package names.
