Title:
  [SRU] activemq fails to start on Ubuntu 12.04

Status in “activemq” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “activemq” source package in Precise:
  Triaged
Status in “activemq” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released
Status in “activemq” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  SRU Request for Precise

  #### SRU Justification ###

  [Impact]
  activemq won't start whatsoever on Precise.

  [Development Fix]
  This is fixed in lp:~kroq-gar78/ubuntu/precise/activemq/sid-merge by merging with Debian Sid. In the Debian bug report, it was found that "the maven repositories are created but no files are copied to /usr/share/java". So, they're created but not put into the package.

  From the Debian bug report:
  "The following patch adds the necessary --java-lib flag to
  debian/libactivemq-java.poms for the required repositories
  activemq-{core,console,run} and kahadb"

  [Stable Fix]
  Because this bug is due to the fact that the JAR's weren't installed through the package, the only way to fix activemq is to apply the patch attached to the Debian bug report or to use the branch lp:~kroq-gar78/ubuntu/precise/activemq/sid-merge and recompile the source.

  [Test Case]
  1) Install the package 'activemq'
  2) Run the command 'activemq'

  With the version in Precise, it will error out with:
  ERROR: '/usr/share/activemq/bin/run.jar' does not exist

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal as the program doesn't work as it is anyway.

  #######

  activemq 5.5.0+dfsg-6ubuntu1 running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

  -------------------OLD REPORT (MERGE/SYNC-RELATED)-------------------

  Please sync activemq 5.5.0+dfsg-7 (universe) from Debian unstable
  (main)

  From debian bugreport:

  Dear Maintainer,

  I installed the activemq package (Wheezy, AMD64), but after configuring the
  software it failed to start.
  Running the following command gave more information about the problem:
  /etc/init.d/activemq console main

  Starting with Console ActiveMQ instance : mainINFO: Loading '/etc/activemq
  /instances-enabled/main/options'
  INFO: Using java '/usr/bin/java'
  INFO: Starting in foreground, this is just for debugging purposes (stop process
  by pressing CTRL+C)
  ERROR: '/usr/share/activemq/bin/run.jar' does not exist

  Upon inspection the file "/usr/share/activemq/bin/run.jar" is a symlink
  pointing to "/usr/share/java/activemq-run.jar" which does not exist.

  Activemq ran fine on my previous i386 Wheezy installation, which I replaced
  March 30th by this AMD64 installation. I only now got to installing ActiveMQ
  again.
  Therefore I believe this to be a regression from version 5.5.0+dfsg-5 which ran
  fine.

  Kind regards,
  Steven
