It's done.


You'll find 

  argouml-0.7.0-2.src.rpm. . . . . . . . . . . . . Jun 21 14:45    875k
  swing-1.1.1.beta2-1.src.rpm. . . . . . . . . . . Jun 21 14:54  15479k
  xml4j-2.0.9-2.src.rpm. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jun 21 14:45   1290k

in one of the redhat-contrib src mirrors, e.g. 

  ftp://ftp.uni-magdeburg.de/pub/mirror/linux/redhat-contrib/noarch/SRPMS/

. 

The ``rpm -bb''-built, installation-ready *.noarch.rpm-s are to be found as

  argouml-0.7.0-2.noarch.rpm . . . . . . . . . . . Jun 21 15:34    872k

  xml4j-txapi-doc-html-2.0.9-2.noarch.rpm. . . . . Jun 21 15:43    252k

on one of the redhat-contrib noarch mirrors, e.g. 

  ftp://ftp.uni-magdeburg.de/pub/mirror/linux/redhat-contrib/noarch/noarch/

.

Install a binary [i.e. *.noarch] package by

  rpm -U <rpm-topdir>/RPMS/noarch/<name>-<version>.noarch.rpm

.  You may relocate the installation location to somewhere else than the
default /usr, if you additionally specify [e.g.] ``--prefix /opt'' to the rpm
cmdline. 

If you use other sources for swing and xml4j, you may experience lack of a
cmdline method ``echo_<name>_classpath'', which I implemented in any of the
mentioned rpm-objects to ask them for the path of their classes.

Of course, I'm curious about any feedback.
