Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users that      *
*                 modify the generated plugin file             *
*                 plugin-cfg.xml.                              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere fails to persist key fields   *
*                      that can be modified or added manually  *
*                      after plugin regeneration.              *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
WebSphere's plugin currently permits properties that
are currently unable to be set via the admin console or
other administrative tools.  The current workaround
is to manually modify the generated plugin-cfg.xml for
that server.  When plugin regeneration is called, these
values are not being retained.
Problem conclusion
Modified the plugin regeneration code to persist key fields
similar to the current behavior in WebSphere 4.0.
