Comment 3 John Jarvis 2010-12-07 14:15:19 UTC
Correct, it is modified, due to the path difference and it has always been this way.

Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2010-12-07 14:37:29 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 9 Patrick Macdonald 2010-12-07 14:54:38 UTC
Moving this out 1 minor, we'll fix this with the next IBM drop.

RedHat any update on the issue.

Comment 11 jiri vanek 2010-12-09 10:10:08 UTC
added 
%define sdklibdir       %{_jvmdir}/%{sdklnk}/lib

Comment 12 jiri vanek 2010-12-09 11:36:21 UTC
Just to sumarize
ROOT/bin/HtmlConverter is written to be modified  under rhel 5 for ibm java. 
This change is wrong, by its content, but this is to be easily fixed by fix from comment 11.
Then this script work better then without modification (and much better then without fixing it when it was not working at all)- but modification is not necessary. 
Also This  can be found in java 6 for rhel 4 and 5.

Comment 13 jiri vanek 2010-12-09 11:37:07 UTC
* Also This  can be found in java 6 for rhel 4 and 6.

------- Comment From deepakraj.com 2010-12-20 05:04 EDT-------
Based on this changelog shared by Jiri Vanek,

JTC has agreed that if RedHat has made the same changes as mentioned above, then it is fine with us.

>This should be enough:

>%ifarch ppc64 s390x x86_64
>%define    sdklnk        java-%{javaver}-%{origin}.%{_arch}
...
>%else
>%define sdklnk          java-%{javaver}-%{origin}
...
>%endif
>%define sdklibdir       %{_jvmdir}/%{sdklnk}/lib
...
>%define jrebindir       %{_jvmdir}/%{jrelnk}/bin

...

>%ifarch x86_64 %{x86} ppc
># fix up (create new) HtmlConverter, sdkdir replaced by sdklibdir,and
>all packages with plugin affected
>cat > bin/HtmlConverter << EOF
>%{jrebindir}/java -jar %{sdklibdir}/htmlconverter.jar $*
>EOF
>%endif

>If isn't feel free to ask.
