I looked into the source tar ball and it contains .jar files distributed under
the terms of the LGPL.  Deleting the jar files in the %prep section doesn't make
the fact that we've distributed these things go away.  The  .jar files don't
come with source code and AFAICT there's no mention of where to get the source
code.  We really must delete these .jar files before they get packaged into the
SRPM.
