Bugzilla Bug 26925

Java plugin doesn't work on Mozilla on SPARC.
Fix is minor, just a symlink problem, but dunno in which ebuild this is taken
care of.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Java plugin is incorrectly symlinked in mozilla.
On i386 you get: javaplugin_oji.so ->
/opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so
On sparc you get: javaplugin_oji.so ->
/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin//mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so



Expected Results:  
It should be: javaplugin_oji.so ->
/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/sparc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so            
                                                                               
                                     
It's missing the ARCH variable when getting installed it seems.

Versions: mozilla-1.4-r3, blackdown-jdk-1.4.1, java-config 0.2.8-r1.

I gave a shot at re-working this ebuild, there was what looked like an issue
defining the PLATFORM variable.

Can someone test this out for me to see if it works properly?

http://dev.gentoo.org/~todd/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1.ebuild

Added lines to check for the platform, and define the platform variable to
install into the proper location.

Another part I noticed, was that it downloads both the i586 and sparc binaries.
 Need to look into this, and see how to fix it.  Any help would be appreciated.

todd, that's cause you have "cvs" in FEATURES.  For a user it should download
only the appropriate tarball

Todd,

It appears your modifications work, however something is still not working right there at the end of the ebuild.

CC'd the java team onto this.

Thanks to gustavoz's suggestion of copying the files/ dir for blackdown-jdk
over into my $PORTDIR_OVERLAY this works just fine and the error messages go
away.

Patch to apply Todd's changes to current 1.4.1 ebuild.

Hi Java Team, 
I've attached a patch to this bug to fix up blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 so it works correctly for sparc.  Please review and comment.  Thanks.

Fixed, thanks for the bug report.
