    *                      installing Pluggable client             *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The installer incorrectly assumes offering property -
    "user.plugclient.sunJdkHome" is a mandatory parameter. In
    fact, it should be an optional parameter. Without specifying
    this property the installer throws a NullPointerException.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Offering property - "user.plugclient.sunJdkHome" is corrected
    to be an optional parameter.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 8.0.0.4 and 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended
