Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of Remote Migration Tool for IBM  *
  *                  WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Remote version of WASPreUpgrade tool    *
  *                      fails with "<path>/java: not found".    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The createRemoteMigrJar tool only collects the $WAS_HOME/java
  directory tree.  If the command default JDK is set to another
  java version then the cmdDefaultSDK.properties file becomes
  inconsistent with the java directory that was collected.
  Migration supports all JDKs shipped but recommends the
  ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/java be used.
  

Problem conclusion

• Adjusted the collection tool to discover which JDK the
  cmdDefaultSDK.properties is pointing to, and adjusted it to
  point to the default. If the default java is not available
  then we collect the java version being pointed to by the
  cmdDefaultSDK.properties file.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
