Mostly to let others use them without having to have a full java toolchain. I
personally need the right toolchain, but haven't gone through the steps to do
so (it's low on my list).

That would be nice. I certainly want to provide up to date jars for people.
While I've got your attention on this, where is a good place for the RPM to
place the jars that would be usable by the largest number of people?
Currently they are just plunked down and no real installation is being done.

Or, to put it a different way, how would you want to see the RPM handle the
jars? There are significant issues to deal with, but give me your wish list.
