No, that's a different problem. I'm not talking about where the files are in the final bundle, but how the bundle is being built.
j2sdk-bundle now appears to be a temporary location for assembling the bundle before moving it back to j2sdk-image. j2sdk-image's layout should remain stable throughout the build.
