I'd like to apologize.. i somehow missed the response to my spec file
suggestion.  I just took your failed spec file and built it on my system
and found what I think is the issue.  It was missing the BuildRoot
definition.  by adding that I was able to build a package that seems to
meet your requirement.  Here it is:

Summary: Maximus utility for handling everything
Name: maximus
Version: 2.0.0
Release: 1
License: GPL
Source0: PWMP-EJB.jar
Group: Development/Tools
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-buildroot

%description
Maximus utility for handling everything - just leave it to Max.

%build

%prep

%install
mkdir -p %{buildroot}/home/mark/
echo %{buildroot}
cp %{SOURCE0} %{buildroot}/home/mark/

%clean
rm -rf %{buildroot}

%post

%postrun
echo -e "i am in postrun \n"


%files
/home/mark/PWMP-EJB.jar
