Bug#700196: jh_build: META-INF/** not included in jar

[Felix Natter]

Package: javahelper
Version: 0.43
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I am in the process of updating the libjsyntaxpane-java package:
  http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/libjsyntaxpane-java.git

In debian/javabuild, I can specify that class files belonging to java
files in src/main/java are to be added to jsyntaxpane.jar:
  jsyntaxpane.jar src/main/java
Unfortunately, javahelper does not seem to support adding anything besides
class files to a jar file. In my case I needed META-INF/**, so I used
this hack:

override_dh_install:
	(cd src/main/resources && jar uf ../../../jsyntaxpane.jar META-INF)
	dh_install

=> Could you consider adding a "debian/javametadata" where one could
add directories?
  jsyntaxpane.jar src/main/resources/META-INF
(or solve this problem in any other way?)

Thank you and Best Regards!
