java-1.6.0-ibm bug fix update

Updated java-1.6.0-ibm packages that fix issues regarding necessary
documentation, necessary launchpad script executable permissions and
unnecessary launchpad files are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4 Extras.

[Updated 14th October 2009]
This erratum originally stated it contained the IBM 1.6.0 SR10 Java
release. This was a mistake, as the packages actually contain the IBM 1.6.0
SR5 Java release. The file paths (/usr/share/doc/) mentioned in the erratum
text have also been updated to avoid potential confusion.

IBM's 1.6.0 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment and
the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.

These updated packages address the following issues:

* the java-1.6.0-ibm packages were found to not install required Copyright
and Notices files where they were expected to. This failure was initially
attributed to changes made consequent to the re-packaging of IBM's original
tarballs as RPM packages. Further investigation found some of these files
were, in fact, present but had been moved to comply with the SELinux
requirements for file locations. Other files were, in fact, missing. These
updated packages move the documentation to the base installation package,
ensuring all these files are included, as required, even in a minimum
installation. (BZ#525463)

* Microsoft Windows-specific files were installed to
/usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.[x]/ if the "-devel" sub-package
was installed. Files installed included autorun.inf, launchpad.exe,
launchpad.ini and several launchpad-related batch (.bat) files.

Files concerned with presenting the launchpad splash screen on multiple
operating systems and CPU architectures were also installed to
/usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.[x]/launchpad/. These files did
nothing but were (and are) unnecessary. With this update, the
Windows-specific launchpad files and unnecessary splash screen-related
files are no longer installed. (BZ#487107)

* an error in the java-1.6.0-ibm spec file meant the file
/usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.[x]/launchpad.sh and related
scripts installed to
/usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.[x]/launchpad/ were missing the
executable permission bit. This update corrects the spec file error and
these scripts now install with the execute bit set properly for these
files. (BZ#487105)

All users of java-1.6.0-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve these issues.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
