No, I guess that means that any rpms with jars that contain directories 
and index files would have to be rebuilt.  I've only seen the problem in 
tomcat but there may be others.  Anyway I'd like to get opennms working 
on Centos5 and would prefer not to have to use an unpackaged version of 
tomcat to do it.   How do the core java packages included in centos 
relate to jpackage these days?  Can you still add jpackage repos to yum, 
and which ones are appropriate for centos5?
