Its not that the bootstrap script is wrong so much as IBM in their infinite
wisdom seem to have a non-standard setup for the Java install. This causes
problems with things in the script like:
if [ ! -x "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" ] ; then
echo "Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly."
echo " We cannot execute JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
exit
fi
because that's not where java is executed from, its in
${JAVA_HOME}/jre/sh/java
So I commented out the above check and set JAVA=${JAVA_HOME}/jre/sh/java and
then modified any occurrences of ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java with just ${JAVA}.
Similarly javac is not in ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/javac but rather
${JAVA_HOME}/sh/javac so I had to set the JAVAC environment variable
appropriately.

Has the bootstrap script been wrong? If so, I'd like to see a copy of
yours to make the distributed version work out of the box.
