BuildRequires: java-devel [>= specific_version]
BuildRequires:  jpackage-utils

These are satisfied by *any* java compiler, however we want packages to
be always built by a specific compiler.

On Mandriva we solved this by replacing "BuildRequires: java-devel" with
"BuildRequires: java-rpmbuild" which is used to pull the "main" java
compiler (openjdk on all archs where it is supported, gcj/ecj on others).

BuildRequires: ant
...
%build
...
ant


Replace "ant" with "%ant". This ensures ant is called with the specific
java compiler as mentioned above.


Also, the policy should mention %jar, %java, %javac, %javadoc,
%java_home that should be used when those tools/paths are needed.

Yes.

MDV wiki has something on those, but not much indeed:
