Although I am "slightly" outdated regarding this news (actually more than a year), only today I heard about the problem that happened with LGPL and Java code. It was said that LGPL would be viral to Java code, therefore, only by importing the library and using it as separate jar would fall into a particular clause in the license that would require the remaining code to be released under LGPL as well.

However, that was only a big confusion about a phrase from David Turner, the lawyer responsible for licenses at Free Software Foundation. Even though LGPL was written with C/C++ way of linking in mind, Java code falls into a clase (6-b) which covers this case and does not impact the remaining code. Check the links below about the subject.
