There are lots of examples at http://www.jpackage.org/

It would also be worth considering whether to submit Java stuff to
JPackage instead of Fedora Extras; the former would benefit more people.

Just ignore it.  Indexed jars are of doubtful usefulness, and the jar
tool included in FC4 doesn't even implement the "i" option.  Dunno if it
can be done programmatically eg. in an Ant build file using the FC4 Java
stack, but don't lose any sleep over it.
