That worked great.

Except i'm now having a strange issue, been pulling hair's out for a 
couple of hours ...

WARNING: QA Issue: taxi: Files/directories were installed but not shipped
   /usr/share
   /usr/share/java
   /usr/share/java/headless.jar


And indeed, my jar file will not be bundled in the rootfs !!

Some copy-paste from my recipe :

SRC_URI = " \
file://headless .jar;unpack=0 \
"
do_install() {
install -m 0755 -d ${D}/usr/share/java
  install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/headless .jar ${D}/usr/share/java
  }


Any clues ? If i change the path  /usr/bin  it works.
Is it because i'm putting it in /usr/share/java ?
But that's where all the other JAR's go ...
