Another problem arose. I was pointed out that another problem pointed
out by rpmlint should be fixed:

EMBOSS-libs.x86_64: W: shared-lib-calls-exit
/usr/lib64/libeplplot.so.3.2.7 exit@

According to the tool, it means the following:

This library package calls exit() or _exit(), probably in a non-fork()
context. Doing so from a library is strongly discouraged - when a
library function calls exit(), it prevents the calling program from
handling the error, reporting it to the user, closing files properly,
and cleaning up any state that the program has. It is preferred for the
library to return an actual error code and let the calling program
decide how to handle the situation.

Also, the guidelines [1] say that the .jar files should be compiled from
source, so fixing the problem with --with-java would definitely help here.
