plexus-ant-factory is a good example of a simple rpm with a single
jar/pom.
Actually I would rather suggest looking into either apache-commons-X
packages or some of the new maven-XX-plugin packages. They are
new, recently reviewed so should be following guidelines. Current
plexus-ant-factory has a lot of packaging guidelines violations
(including parent directories in %files, define instead of global
and that's just from first look)
maven-scm is a good example of a complex rpm in that it is small
and clean and installs many jars and poms.
I'd like to point out that while both packages use SCM as SOURCE,
it is always preferred to use source tarball. Problem is that a lot
of java projects don't provide them.
