OpenOffice.org build fails due to Rhino integration in OpenJDK

Hi,

We have an issue with building OpenOffice.org with openjdk-6-jdk 6b11-5, 
which most likely will effect the OpenOffice.org Fedora build as well.
    http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=91641

It was most likely introduced by
    
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6/file/63c7ccd8da7f/patches/icedtea-rhino.patch
which adds Rhino with original package names to the OpenJDK.

Since than we are unable to compile a previous version of Rhino using 
the above JDK, as always the Rhino interfaces from the JDK are found.
JDK 1.4 had once the same problem, when adding Xalan using the Apache 
packages, but was fixed in JDK 5.

In believe that in our case it is not even possible to use the 
none-standard -Xbootclasspath parameter as a workaround as the we can 
not add the classes that we are going to compile into our classpath.

I suggest to rename the Rhino packages part of OpenJDK to allow to use 
different versions of Rhino.

PS: Please reply all as most of the ppl on CC are not subscribed to the 
list.

Kind regards,
Svante
