Description : In a nutshell, Java Packages Bootstrap (JPB) is a standalone build of all Java
: software packages that are required for Java Packages Tools (JPT) to work.
:
: In order to achieve reliable and reproducible builds of Java packages while
: meeting Fedora policy that requires everything to be built from source, without
: using prebuilt binary artifacts, it is necessary to build the packages in a
: well-defined, acyclic order. Dependency cycles between packages are the biggest
: obstacle to achieving this goal and JPT is the biggest offender -- it requires
: more than a hundred of Java packages, all of which in turn build-require JPT.
:
: JPB comes with a solution to this problem -- it builds everything that JPT needs
: to work, without reliance on any Java software other than OpenJDK. JPT can
: depend on JPB for everything, without depending on any other Java packages. For
: example, JPB contains embedded version of XMvn, removing dependency of JPT on
: XMvn, allowing JPT to be used before one builds XMvn package.
