Note that the .spec file should be named "apache-jena.spec" to prevent a warning from rpmlint on the resulting SRPM.

Hi Donald,
I'm willing to take the review and sponsor you. Please follow the process as described at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/New_package_process_for_existing_contributors .
Now you seem to be at step 3 - upload srpm/spec, this is mandatory so I can verify not only the spec but the source0..N you will upload when review is successful.

Spec File

This .spec file should be named "apache-jena.spec" and is missing BuildRequires entries.

Description:

Jena is a Java framework for building semantic web applications. It
provides tools and Java libraries to help you to develop semantic web
and linked-data apps, tools and servers.

This distribution includes the following Apache Jena modules:

- jena-core: provides the Jena RDF APIs, Ontology APIs and Inference APIs.
- jena-arq: SPARQL 1.1, query and update.
- jena-tdb: scalable and performant storage subsystem for Jena
- jena-iri: provides an implementation of RFC 3987 (IRI) and RFC 3986 (URI)

Looking at your spec file there is a blocker:
 You should use the source tarball and build from source in %build section. Aka Source0: http://www.us.apache.org/dist/jena/source/jena-2.12.1-source-release.zip 

and your build section should look like:
%build
%mvn_build

I would also recommend using %mvn_install in %install section for actually placing jars and manually install the rest.

The "Java Packaging HOWTO" has relevant information on packaging this maven project: https://fedorahosted.org/released/javapackages/doc/. I was also able to get some help from gil on #fedora-bigdata. Unfortunately, there are two dependencies I was unable to resolve when building from the apache jena source:

BuildRequires:      mvn(com.github.jsonld-java:jsonld-java)
BuildRequires:      mvn(org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-cache

In addition, "BuildRequires:      mvn(org.apache.commons:commons-csv)" is resolved by apache-commons-csv-0:1.0-0.11.svn1071189.fc21.noarch, however installing that package locally leads to compile-time errors.

Drop myself as reviewer as quite some time passed.

jerboaa's scratch build of java-1.8.0-openjdk?#d28765c33d068af9ff432a92443b93beeef88a22 for git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/java-1.8.0-openjdk?#d28765c33d068af9ff432a92443b93beeef88a22 and rawhide failed http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12181621

I received the needinfo alert but I have not played with this build in a bit. I had given up due to the extent of the dependencies necessary. What next step might I take to help out here?

The only missing dependencies are:
BuildRequires: mvn(org.apache.lucene:lucene-analyzers-common:4.6.1)
BuildRequires: mvn(org.apache.lucene:lucene-core:4.6.1)
BuildRequires: mvn(org.apache.lucene:lucene-queryparser:4.6.1)
BuildRequires: mvn(org.apache.lucene:lucene-spatial:4.6.1)
BuildRequires: mvn(org.apache.solr:solr-solrj:4.6.1)
BuildRequires: mvn(org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-osgi)
BuildRequires: mvn(org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore-osgi)
BuildRequires: mvn(com.github.rvesse:airline:0.9.1)


Test deps
BuildRequires: mvn(org.apache.mrunit:mrunit)
BuildRequires: mvn(org.xenei:junit-contracts)

if you think is not possible continue. please close this bug

Thanks for the information. Rather than chase down the dependencies, I have opted to mark the bug as closed, cantfix. The "Java Packaging HOWTO" (https://fedora-java.github.io/howto/latest/) has been updated recently and may describe a path forward for keeping up with Java dependencies. The approach I used does not seem maintainable.
