Comment(by afloe08):

 Sorry for the late reply. But I was on vacation and then quite busy.

 I did contact Sun about the copyrights in the spec or inc files. Their
 reply
 was, since those files are on the openSolaris repository they are free
 software under the COMMON DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION LICENSE (CDDL) and
 an
 OSI-approved open source license. Any removal of Copyright or the
 reference
 to GNOME, JDK, etc. they didn't want to accept.

 Since the '.inc' are created in the context of the JDK desktop (GNOME-
 based)
 those files have the reference to this environment as you have seen.

 To give you a chance to publish those files without those copyrights and
 reference, I have created '.spec'-files which are without any reference to
 the JDK environment. Those are limited adapted for x86 Solaris. The
 compile and linker options for SPARC would be different. In the file
 "installing_build_xapian_solaris10.txt" I
 explain how I did set up a Solaris 10 05/8 x86 machine with Studio 12.
 Furthermore it includes the building and installation of pkgbuild (the
 building tool for .spec files) and the building and installation of
 xapian.

 I have also added a howto for your wiki. Since I didn't know exactly where
 and
 how to add a new wiki page (it does not fit as a FAQ), I just add it here
 in
 case you want to use it.

 The mentioned information I have sent to nobody at xapian.org. I don't see
 how I can add attachment in this interface.
