Hey Guys,

I've been busy trying to code RPMS, so I can automate
my OS installs, and then came across this:

http://www.jpackage.org/

They have these goals:

    *   To provide a coherent set of Java software
packages for Linux, satisfying all quality
requirements of other applications.
    * To establish an efficient and robust policy for
Java software packaging and installation.


Tomcat and maven are among packages provided already.

Also this might help with Solaris packaging:

http://www.openpkg.org/

If ADS is a jpackaged installing is as easy as 

yum install ads....

I know Fedora uses JPackages already and I'm sure many
other Linux distributions do as well.

I'm working on understanding the tomcat jpackage right
now, and I'll take a look at the ADS rpm after.

Oh - Incidentally the Tomcat rpm complies with this:

I imagine doing the same for ADS would be a good
thing.

Cheers,
- Ole
