No arch-indep path to java included in maven part

[Stuart Bishop]

I've built a part with the maven plugin, which 'just worked'.

Looking at my stage area however, I only see paths to the java executable include my architecture:

$ find stage -name java
stage/usr/share/java
stage/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
stage/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
stage/etc/ssl/certs/java

Without /usr/bin/java or similar, I can't define my apps: section in an architecture independent way. Some update-java-alternatives magic or a symlink seems to be needed.

Sounds like a sensible request
