I think it would make sense to generate all the RPMs for a given
package at once: the ordinary bytecode RPM, plus the corresponding
devel package, plus both rhug packages. This might mean coordinating
with the vendors in some way. What do you think of that? The benefit
is version consistency, and also single ownership of the .jar file.

Actually the problem is lower than the classloader; we use libltdl to
load the libraries. Whatever it decides is what happens.
This is great work, btw.
