i don't think so

NOT needed in F23 and rawhide, automatic added by our Java tools

- rpmlint checks return:

The package contains no documentation (README, doc, etc). You have to include
documentation files.

Would be nice but may not exist individually for each subpackage.

- package meets naming guidelines
- package meets packaging guidelines
- license ( ASL 2.0 ) OK, text in %doc, matches source
- spec file legible, in am. english
- source matches upstream
- package compiles on devel (x86_64)
- no missing BR
- no unnecessary BR
- no locales
- not relocatable
- owns all directories that it creates
- no duplicate files
- permissions ok
- %clean ok
- macro use consistent
- code, not content
- no need for -docs
- nothing in %doc affects runtime
- no need for .desktop file 


Very clean.

APPROVED.
