I figured something along those lines. My hope was that he could
extract the bits and futz with it to get it to go (I think it's a Java

It was just an idea.
I already tried using alien but to no avail because it produced this
rpm build error: Arch dependent binaries in noarch package
So alien is a bad idea.
