Hi,


there seems to be an inconsistency with the Java guidelines:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Java

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Java#Jar_file_naming states that
if the package only contains a single .jar file it should have the same
name as the package, but the ant and maven spec file templates
install .jar files as

cp -p [build path to jar]   \
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_javadir}/%{name}-%{version}.jar


Also, I find it a bit inconsistent that java packages don't have to have
a java- prefix as python, perl, php and so on packages have to.
