I've done so. This is probably build product, not the original
tarball/zipfile to build from. Even if it was, this is way to hell -- we
can't bundle stuff like that.

Not supporting OSGi does not necessarily mean that RPMs are not getting
better. Users of jars from RPMs obviously do not care too much about
OSGi, otherwise this would have been already packaged..

In example: I'm working on small Java project that needs to connect to
PostgreSQL. So I wan't to install pgjdbc.jar -- but I do trust my Linux
distribution, not maven -- so all I need is to install that. Hitting
'maven install' is not acceptable for me as a user at all, because I can't
be sure what are the consequences.
