Thanks Bruno for your feedbacks. I will update based on your suggestions.
For JAVA_HOME, I extracted my jdk to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_31, and it
happens not to be in your list of detection list:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun \
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.*/jre/ \
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.* \
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.6-sun \
/usr/java/jdk1.6* \
/usr/java/jre1.6* \
/Library/Java/Home \
/usr/java/default \
/usr/lib/jvm/default-java \
/usr/lib/jvm/java-openjdk \
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-openjdk \
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk \
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-* \
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk*
I am not sure what is the best way in terms of documenting a fool-proof
steps. But for now I will say either one add the JAVA_HOME or keep your
java in a known list of directory (such as on Mac /Library/Java/Home or
Linux /usr/lib/jvm/default-java).
Thanks,
David
