Blackdown java in rpm format
Hello, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but in searching through your archives and web pages I haven't found this question or answer. I need to use blackdown's 1.4.1 jre, because that is the only plugin I've found that actually works correctly with RedHat Enterprise 3's mozilla and the Remedy Web Client. I am familier with Sun's Java License, and we actually do have permission from them to redistribute their rpm's as we also have the licenses in the same place as the rpm's, and we don't change anything with the rpm's, etc... But blackdown does not have their java packaged in an rpm format, and that is the format that I need. So my question is this. Can I take blackdown's java and package it up in an rpm? I will not change the binaries at all, as well as make sure that rpm doesn't do it's 'stip' function. I will follow all the same rules that I have been following to distribute sun's java.

*A voice from elsewhere says to Troy* Perhaps if you read the README that comes with Blackdowns java you will be enlightened. *Troy reads the README and is enlightened* Oh, ok. I see this subject seems to already been covered. Thanks for your time.

Unfortunatly the plugin is very finicky for some odd reason and didn't like the layout (that's just a guess). Everytime I tried it on the web client it kept comming up with something like JavaApplet noinit. Since I am under a time restraint I wasn't able to investigate further and simply went to the brute force method of just making an rpm that installed the whole tree in place, then link the plugin. I also used your trigger and postun scripts for the pluggin. In the changelog I gave credit for these to the JPackage Project, but if there someone specific that should be credited for those, please let me know.
