I prefer /usr/share/java. It makes more sense to have a share dir, even
though all these apps come with their own jars. You'll still probably end
up with 100 copies of the same jar file, but that's the way it
is. Mandrake certainly needs more java support. jdk (IBM hopefully) is the
bare minimum. java.apache.org and jakarta.apache.org should have all their
stuff packaged as well.
