Error description
Correct packaging for 
PQ72596.  The APAR's unique
identifier is labeled 
PQ72596_Fix instead of 
PQ72596. This
prevents prerequisite fixes from being installed.
Local fix
Disable prerequisite check if 
PQ72596 was a prerequisite
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.
