There is no technical reason to suffix anything - you can put JARs that
depend on old version of JDK in /usr/{share,lib}/java-x.y.z, for example
/usr/share/java-1.7.0/ for JARs that require JDK 7.
There is: I'm talking about rpm packages, and you can't install multiple
rpm packages with the same name simultaneously. So, you'll need to
change the name. BTW, -legacy was just an example. I'd prefer 'versioned
package names' as in my proposal for libraries.
