build rpm with SPEC file for packaging .jar and some .sh files..

Good day people,

I have posted this under Linux' Red Hat session but no luck.
Hope can have some luck here with my problem.

Hereby wish to have your advise for below:

I have some .jar files, some script files (install.sh, action.sh) , and a libaes.so file. Basically, the .jar files compute the operation of my system and define the working directory for my system.

My current scenario:
i trigger install.sh to set up the my service with /etc/init.d and with command service xSystem start to start up my system.

service xSystem start will eventually trigger action.sh with passing parameter start to run the .jar file.

Now i intend package my system into rpm. I tried to write the SPEC file to build the rpm but i failed. Hope to have some guidance here.

Below is my SPEC file content:

Code:

# This is a spec file for xSystem

%define _topdir	 	/usr/src/redhat
%define name		xSystem
%define release		1
%define version 	1.0
%define buildroot %{_topdir}/%{name}-%{version}-root

BuildRoot:	%{buildroot}
Summary: 		GNU xSystem
License: 		GPL
Name: 			%{name}
Version: 		%{version}
Release: 		%{release}
Source: 		%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
Prefix: 		/usr
Group: 			Applications/System

%description
xSystem's description is here.


%prep
%build
/%{name}/.install.sh

%files

I tar all my .jar, .sh, and .so files and place it under /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and place my SPEC file under /usr/src/redhat/SPECS .. then i execute
rpmbuild xSystem.spec from the SPECS directory.

But unfortunately, i can't find any .rpm file after executing that command.
What i have missed out?

please advice again.. I have come across with reference on making rpm with spec files.. but most of the one i found is working on .c file.. and not really matching my scenario. I have run out of idea..

I appreciate for guidance given here.

Many thanks again.

NAME

       Maven - Creates links in /usr/share/maven-repo for all jars.

SYNOPSIS

       mh_linkjars [option]...

DESCRIPTION

       Reads the file debian/$package.poms and create links for each jar file generated by a POM listed in the .poms file.

OPTIONS

       -h --help: show this text

       -V --version: show the version

       -p<package> --package=<package>: name of the Debian package which

	      will contain the jar files

       -e<version>, --set-version=<version>: set the version for the jars,

	      do not use the version declared in the POM file.

       -r<rules> --rules=<rules>: path to the file containing the

	      rules to apply when cleaning the POM.  Optional, the default location is debian/maven.rules

       -v --verbose: show more information while running

       -n --no-act: don't actually do anything, just print the results

       The  <package>.poms  file  should contain the list of POM files associated with the list of jars to install in the repository, and each pom
       file should have either the option  --usj-name,	giving	the  name  of  the  jar  (without  the	extension)  to	link  to  and  located	in
       /usr/share/java, or the option --artifact, which should contain the full name of the source jar to link to.
