Minor issues with alienbob's openjre packages

(Please correct me if there is a better place to report a problem with these)
First, thanks AlienBob for your work providing these packages for Slackware users - it is much appreciated.
Second, 2 minor issues with openjre 8u242. Specifically these are the 2 I have used:
Slackware-14.2 32-bit : pkg/14.2/openjre-8u242_b08-i486-1alien
Slackware64-current : pkg64/current/openjre-8u242_b08-x86_64-1alien
(1) The packages include usr/share/applications/jconsole.desktop, which appears in the Xfce menu under "Development". But the Exec line uses an unexpanded symbol _SDKBINDIR_ so it fails. But also jconsole itself is not included in the JRE packages, so it won't work even if that is fixed.
(2) The packages include usr/share/applications/policytool.desktop, which appears in the Xfce menu under "Settings". But the Exec line uses an unexpanded symbol _JREBINDIR_, so it fails. policytool is included in the JRE packages so if the .desktop file is fixed, the menu command will work.
