When I got the RPM building to work, my goal was to allow us to build a complete distribution including the RPMs. It meant that the RPM build would be in sync with the other distributions. Previously the RPMs were built quite differently, using Jikes, not building the full optional jar, etc. The RPMs that are currently built as part of the Ant build consider Ant in isolation. They just put Ant somewhere sensible and what you get is pretty much what you would get if you were to unzip a zip distribution. Henri's RPMs, OTOH, are built as part of the larger java RPM project. There are richer dependencies (JAXP is a dependency, IIRC), a separate Ant launch script, no parser jars included, documentation is somewhere else, etc. Thoughts?
