Well I guess all java users know that the default password is "changeit", so providing that is not much more integrity check :) Programmers like this kind of big warnings, because it makes them feel important, but really, entering "changeit" does not prove anything! "Everything is installed correctly" means you have access to the password database. Whether you use a secret password is not part of that installation... Anyway, we could have an xinclude file so that both sections in configuring and OpenJDK are identical... Doug, if you want, I can do that.
