Well, I am not familiar with java, so I must ask you
some question.

* ExcludeArch
  - Now "java-devel > 1.6" is provided by java-1.7.0-icedtea
    for all archs and this should build on all archs.

  - By the way now Fedora ships "java-1.6.0-openjdk" and
    I am not sure which mock tries to use by "BuildRequires:
    java-devel >= 1.6".

* libffi
  - From build.log jna uses internall libffi, however now
    (at least on rawhide) libffi is system-widely provided.
    Would you patch against jna to use system wide libffi?

* Fedora specific compilation flags
  - From build.log, Fedora specific compilation flags are
    not honored.
    (This compilation flags can be checked by $ rpm --eval %optflags,
     while build.log shows as below:)

* debuginfo? strip binaries?

------------------------------------------------------------------
     When Fedora compilation flags are correctly honored,
     libtestlib.so is created with debug flag "-g", and this will not be
     stripped as this library is packaged as jar style.
     - Are there any means to create "debuginfo" rpm for this library?
     - If not, should this library be stripped or not?
