Let’s imagine you have hundreds of hosts where you automatically install or update HotSpot JDK from the RPM-repository. For example, by RPM dependencies while installing or updating some another software. You maintain your repository by yourself and you’d like to have JDK and JCE in one RPM package.

Then this tiny article will help you.

Step 1. Download JCE from Oracle.com to ~/UnlimitedJCEPolicy

for Oracle JDK 8: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8-download-2133166.html

for Oracle JDK 7: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-7-download-432124.html

Step 2. Install rpmrebuild

Step 3. Do the job

rpmrebuild --package --change-files "cp ~/UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK8/*jar ~/.tmp/rpmrebuild.*/work/root/usr/java/*/jre/lib/security/" jdk-<version>-linux-x64.rpm
mv ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/jdk<version>.x86_64.rpm <somerepo>

Step 4. Grab the beer
