Bug Description

Using libdbus-java version 2.7-1 and openjdk-6-jdk version 6b18-1.8.1-0ubuntu1 under lucid (10.04.1):

$ echo 'public class Foo {}' >Foo.java
$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/javac -Xlint:path -classpath /usr/share/java/dbus.jar Foo.java
warning: [path] bad path element "/usr/share/java/usr/share/java/unix.jar": no such file or directory
warning: [path] bad path element "/usr/share/java/usr/share/java/hexdump.jar": no such file or directory
2 warnings

The two warnings indicate a problem. (I haven't noticed that the functionality of the library is affected.)

Clearly the path elements listed are incorrect. It appears that the problem is in dbus.jar, because if that jar file is left out of the classpath then the warning goes away.

The problem is apparently that the rules file adds some jar dependencies to the package's Class-Path using absolute paths, whereas (e.g., according to http://java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaprogramming/JAR/basics/manifest.html#download) the paths should be relative. I have attached a patch to fix the problem.

Thanks for reporting this issue and adding a patch. The best way for us to fix this in Ubuntu would be to fix this issue in the upstream Debian package, and sync it from Debian. Could you please file a bug in Debian's bug tracker for this package and link the bug here? (Use http://www.debian.org/Bugs/)

Thanks!
