Bug#629081: libjna-java: platform.jar file incorrectly referenced in /usr/share/maven-repo/...

[James Page]

Package: libjna-java
Version: 3.2.7-2
Severity: important


The Maven jar artefact that this package deploys is no longer correct; it should
link to jna.jar but it currently links to jna-platform.jar.

Looking at the package the following in debian/rules is causing this issue:

# install. using platform.jar is a silly idea in /usr/share/java/ as it's bound to collide
override_dh_auto_install:
    mh_installjar -plibjna-java -l --usj-name=jna pom.xml build/jna.jar
    mh_installjar -plibjna-java -l --usj-name=jna-platform pom.xml build/platform.jar

The second mh_installjar command incorrectly references the pom.xml for jna NOT platform.

This overwrites in the links created by the first command.

This will break any Maven based build process that depends on this package as platform.jar 
does not contain the expected classes.

The -3 package in experimental has the same bug.
