Hi,


I tried to update Jmol to the latest release, when I ran once again
into

error: package netscape.javascript does not exist
import netscape.javascript.JSObject;

My spec builds fine in Fedora 15, but fails to build in 16 and 17.
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=jmol.git;a=blob;f=jmol.spec;hb=HEAD

Does someone have a solution to this problem?

The package is not standard part of Java. It is provided by plugin.jar.
In Fedora <= 15 plugin.jar was included with the JDK (if the
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin package was installed). Now plugin.jar is
provided by icedtea-web.

I think one possible fix would be to BuildRequire icedtea-web and
include /usr/share/icedtea-web/plugin.jar in the classpath.

HTH,

icedtea-web had already been a BuildRequire since Fedora 15 (and the
package compiles fine in Fedora 15), but the jar file has been moved
after that.

$ ant -lib %{_datadir}/icedtea-web/plugin.jar doc main
doesn't work, it still fails in the same error.

There are two things that were causing problems. The spec file was
setting classpath to a directory, not a jar. Also, the build.xml file
was instructing ant to discard the classpath specified on the command line.


I have attached two patches (made against f16, and contain some extra
debugging commands). I started off a build using them:


https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3296091

The build failed, but it managed to compile at least some of the java
code without the JSObject errors.


Cheers,
Omair

The build.xml statement was indeed the culprit. Thanks for your help!
