This is only for the case without patches.

The problem is before: It occurs during unpacking: The .jar file is
getting handled with "tar xvf". I looked into the source-derivation and
found the pieces. I added this line:

diff --git a/guix/packages.scm b/guix/packages.scm
index c94a651f27..412dfcc04c 100644

           ((string-suffix? "bz2" source-file-name) "bzip2")
           ((string-suffix? "lz" source-file-name)  "lzip")
           ((string-suffix? "zip" source-file-name) "unzip")
+          ((string-suffix? "jar" source-file-name) "unzip")
           (else "xz")))


This brings me a step further: The .jar-file will now be extracted.
Unfortunately, we have this in line number 593:

            (let ((directory (first-file ".")))
              (format (current-error-port)
                      "source is under '~a'~%" directory)
              (chdir directory)

That means: It is expected that the tarball/zipfile/archive contains a
single directory under which the sources are contained. That seams to
be the case for all .tar.* and .zip archives used within Guix packages.

To verify that, I (randomly) picked the fcgi package and repacked the
tarball, such that sources are directly in the root folder. I then get
this expected error:

[..]

Unfortunately, .jar-source-files ARE organized in such a way that
sources are organized directly in the root folder of the jar. I
currently don't see a quick AND nice way to fix this.

Wait, I have this idea:

                       "source is under '~a'~%" directory)
               (chdir directory)

But it fails with:

What's wrong here?
