rationale for installing .jar files under /usr/share/doc?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  i just installed the xerces-j2 package on f12, and was a bit taken
aback to see that the .jar files that come with were installed along
with other xerces content under /usr/share/doc/xerces-j2-2.7.1.

  that just seems odd -- to have them installed in a documentation
directory.  i checked to see if that's a new standard of some kind
but, apparently, it's only xerces that does that:

$ cd /usr/share/doc
$ find . -name "*.jar"
./xerces-j2-2.7.1/build/xercesImpl.jar
./xerces-j2-2.7.1/build/xercesSamples.jar
./xerces-j2-2.7.1/build/xml-commons-resolver.jar
./xerces-j2-2.7.1/build/xml-commons-apis.jar
./xerces-j2-2.7.1/tools/bin/xjavac.jar
./xerces-j2-2.7.1/tools/xalan.jar
./xerces-j2-2.7.1/tools/xml-commons-resolver.jar
./xerces-j2-2.7.1/tools/xml-commons-apis.jar
$

  is there a rationale for that?  should we be expecting more packages
to be doing that?
