What is the Fedora equivalent package name for 'freehep-graphics2d'?

Question

I have been trying to install Scilab from Source. When i run

./configure

i get this error

configure: error: Could not find or use the Java package/jar freehep-graphics2d used by Freehep Graphics2D (looking for package org.freehep.graphics2d.VectorGraphics)

hence, i tried to install it in fedora 23 but could not find the package. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you need EMF graphics support? If not, build with `./configure --without-emf` to remove this dependency. — mattdm, May 12 '16 at 19:07
As an aside, why not use scilab as already packaged in Fedora? — mattdm, May 12 '16 at 19:07
i tried doing that with dnf, but i figured that no C header files were included in usr/include. or anywhere else. — alchemist95, May 13 '16 at 01:23
In fact, i can find no libraries in /usr/lib besides no headers in /usr/include, if i go for dnf. — alchemist95, May 13 '16 at 02:17
For include files, install `scilab-devel`. In general, you want `-devel` packages for this kind of thing. — mattdm, May 13 '16 at 02:32

Old! last updated in 2007! Your best bet is to compile the source. Start with

$ svn checkout svn://svn.freehep.org/svn/freehep/tags/vectorgraphics-2.1.1/freehep-graphics2d freehep-graphics2d

There is a pom.xml, so use Maven to build it. Good luck!

Update: see the Centos instructions at https://wiki.scilab.org/Compiling%20Scilab%205.x%20under%20GNU-Linux%20Unix#Compilation_under_CentOS

What do you have at:

$SCILAB/thirdparty/freehep-util.jar
$jardir/freehep-graphicsio-emf.jar

Actually, the best bet is as suggested above in a comment, to disable this feature.
