[ ] File sections do not contain %defattr(-,root,root,-) unless changed with good reason [ ] Permissions on files are set properly. [ ] Package does NOT have a %clean section which contains rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT). (not needed anymore) [ ] Package consistently uses macros (no %{buildroot} and $RPM_BUILD_ROOT mixing) [ ] Package contains code, or permissable content. [ ] Fully versioned dependency in subpackages, if present. [ ] Package contains a properly installed %{name}.desktop file if it is a GUI application. [ ] Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages. [ ] Javadoc documentation files are generated and included in -javadoc subpackage [ ] Javadocs are placed in %{_javadocdir}/%{name} (no -%{version} symlinks) [ ] Packages have proper BuildRequires/Requires on jpackage-utils [ ] Javadoc subpackages have Require: jpackage-utils [ ] Package uses %global not %define [ ] If package uses tarball from VCS include comment how to re-create that tarball (svn export URL, git clone URL, ...) [ ] If source tarball includes bundled jar/class files these need to be removed prior to building [ ] All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. [ ] Jar files are installed to %{_javadir}/%{name}.jar (see [6] for details) [ ] If package contains pom.xml files install it (including depmaps) even when building with ant [ ] pom files has correct add_maven_depmap

Maven
[ ] Use %{_mavenpomdir} macro for placing pom files instead of %{_datadir}/maven2/poms [ ] If package uses "-Dmaven.test.skip=true" explain why it was needed in a comment [ ] If package uses custom depmap "-Dmaven.local.depmap.file=*" explain why it's needed in a comment [ ] Package DOES NOT use %update_maven_depmap in %post/%postun [ ] Packages DOES NOT have Requires(post) and Requires(postun) on jpackage-utils for %update_maven_depmap macro
