That page indirectly refers to a particular java version.  Lately, IBM in a PTF
I can't find, stabilized the path to java as a symlink from 
/usr/lpp/java/current
(finally!) .

Will that be maintained by any PTF that updates java, or will that, like the
contents of /etc, be considered the prerogative of the site administrator?)

Will Pubs do a sweep for mentions of particular java versions and substitute
"current" as was done (mostly) when "dataset" was standardized as
"data set"?

(For consistency with the mode, it should be /usr/bin/java -- When in Rome
do as the Romans do.  Or perhaps pack your bags for India.)
