[Fedora-packaging] Group tag for Java libraries and their documentation

Going by the options proposed by rpmlint, the only possible tag for
any development library -- whatever language it's written in -- is
"Development/Libraries". At the same time, there are lots of packages
using "Development/Libraries/Java"; on my computer,
    rpm -q -g Development/Libraries/Java | wc -l
yields 46 of them.

I also have the same question about "Documentation" vs.
"Development/Documentation" for javadoc packages -- rpmlint only
accepts the former, but a nontrivial number of packages use the
latter.

So what's the official verdict on this?

Thanks,

MEF
