Bugzilla Bug 63258

Following the new java policy, packages shouldn't rely on packed jars,
dependencies need to be added on our own packages and used.

jboss-3.2.7.ebuild

Here is an attempt at jboss without packed JARs. It uses almost all the
packages that are currently available in portage. The exceptions are axis,
castor, jfreechart, hibernate, and javacc, which I wasn't able to get jboss to
compile with.

There are a number of packages that still need to added to portage however.
I'll outline them here, but there are more details in the ebuild itself.

A few things that could be done / improved:
* I'm not positive if all these libraries are required, so it may be worth
looking into seeing how to disable some features, and consequently have use
flags for enabling them.
* I had attempted to add jikes support, but I encountered a number of semantic
errors, so a bit of patching will be necessary.
* A number of JARs provided by jboss are installed into
/usr/share/jboss/server/*/lib. Perhaps this could instead be installed at a
location like /usr/share/jboss/common, and then symlinks could be made into the
other directories, in addition to adding the JARs of this common directory to
package.env's CLASSPATH.
* I don't have many WAR or EAR files to test with, so more thorough testing is
needed.

Re-assigning to maintainer-needed, because this is a big enough package that it
warrants a specific maintainer to be familar with its nuances.

Would you please remove the java erd tag from metadata.xml then - or otherwise
take the package back!? If we can't find a maintainer it should probably be
removed from the tree, as unfortunate is it would be.

Didn't see the last rites e-mail? :)

I don't even have the time to read everything on gentoo-dev and would expect
that the package would have been hard masked, so users can take notice before
it's gone entirely, which is much more important than the last rites email only
a "chosen few" are reading. That's, what I do check against, crawling through
some maintainer-needed bugs.

Ew, just noticed I overlooked it on the package.mask file. Sorry for the noise.

Closing bug. Removed from tree, till we get a maintainer and current version
from source.
