1.4.2_05 05Fixed

An error in the implementation of:
	5010244: PSARC/2003/321 needs to be backported to 1.4.2_05
the /usr/bin/javaws symbolic link is not correctly managed.  Since even
the initial setting is incorrect, this must be fixed before 1.4.2_05
is general availabilty.

	I also ran into this during s9u7_06 install regression test.  The link is broken and this must be fixed  before s9u7 ships.

	This is fixed in s9u7_09 with Java 1.4.2_05.

EVALUATION In the process of backporting the mJRE work to 1.4.2_05, the settings of REL_JAVAWS_* in the installation scripts was incorrectly implemented. In the process of enhancing the tests to not allow this to happen again a few other (far less serious) bugs were discovered in the handling of the /usr/bin/javaws symbolic link.

WORK AROUND Assuming a default installation: # rm /usr/bin/javaws # ln -s ../java/jre/javaws/javaws Non-default installations will have a different value of the "java" field in the link.
