JUnit and JAI need to be separated as they are not machine independent, which means that they do not belong in /usr/share, but I'm wondering if that shouldn't be /usr/lib/java anyway. They are not technically libraries, but they are treated similar to libraries by the Classpath exception (similar to GNU LGPL exceptions) and used in a similar manor. I'm going to put back the jar search function in icedtea.sh too and eliminate the dir search (to make it automatic as is implied). If the Oracle JDK is to remain in the book, these changes should be done there too (I'll take care of it when I do IcedTea). Any comments, objections, or suggestions for the above?
