Perfectly reasonable question, since java is such a reliable generator of flaws requiring updates. The answer is, I don't know what java- written extensions I may need. Being an LFS user I'm prejudiced against running other peoples' binaries if I can avoid it. Reason enough to dump Oracle's JRE. Replace Flash with Shumway.

But for sufficient reason, IMO, see above. I did run CentTOS this morning to see what it had in /usr/share/java. Not junit.jar, but it's also running LO-4.0.4, with or without java I don't know. So, is that the only answer we have? Do not --enable-java. Nobody knows how to produce the junit.jar? -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
