RFC: forward-port pulse-java fixes from icedtea6 to icedtea7

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

The attached patch forward-ports a number of fixes that are present in
pulse-java in icedtea6 to icedtea7 (HEAD). I ran through most of the
pulse-java tests and nothing seems to have regressed.

One of these fixes should take care of PR875 too: the just-built
pulse-java is used as bootclasspath when generating headers (though I
havent actually tested it myself).

Shall I push this to icedtea8 as well?

I am not sure if I want to change the dates in the changelog entries
from the original. Does anyone have strong feelings either way?

Any thoughts or comments?

Thanks,
Omair
