Could you please explain what shared libs have to do with Java
packages here?
What do you mean by .so files being shipped separately? Don't Java
packages just come with either:
1. jar files that consist of bundled-up .class files, or
2. binaries built with GCJ that link with the libgcj already on your
system?
Java packages in Fedora (since FC4) always contain jar files.
Sometimes they also contain native code shared libraries for libgcj.
