      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      Up to JDK 8u11 the RPM files provided on the Oracle download page, has set as name "jdk". So it was possible to say with other RPMs something like
      Requires: jdk >= 2000:1.8.0_00-fcs

      In late versions the name got the version added, so if I ask the rpm, it tells me:
      Name : jdk1.8.0_40 Relocations: /usr/java
      Version : 1.8.0_40 Vendor: Oracle Corporation
      Release : fcs



      JUSTIFICATION :
      For other RPM packages that want to rely on a jdk, but not a specific version, they have to point always to a specific version and the spec files for these other RPMs have to be updated all the time, just because of the Require change.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      I want the RPMs again with a Name tag that has ONLY the name and not get added with a Version. e.g.
      Name : jdk Relocations: /usr/java
      Version : 1.8.0_40 Vendor: Oracle Corporation
      Release : fcs
