@Swill, I have a question (actually two) :)
If “JAVA_HOME” is not set, or if “JAVA_HOME” content does not exist, we
check if there is a java installation. I have a doubt about this last path we
are checking. Is this path “/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.8.0” default (some sort of
standard)?
I ask because (at least on Debian, or at least the Debian I am using)
whenever I install using “aptitude”, the java versions were added to folders
following the pattern:
“/usr/lib/jvm/java-<version>-openjdk-<processorArchiteture>/jre/”. Of course,
this is for OpenJDK installed with “aptitude”.
Are we assuming that the user when installing manually (e.g. installing the
JRE from Oracle) will put Java JRE files in a folder like
“/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.8.0”?
This will also only work for Java JRE 1.8.0, if users install Java JRE
1.8.1 and use the version as the name of the folder, this would not work. Of
course, all can be fixed by setting the JAVA_HOME.
Would not it be better to cause an exception and stop the deployment with a
message saying that we require the “JAVA_HOME” to be set? Then, it feels that
we will be consistent; otherwise, I can imagine a user complaining that she/he
has installed the Java 8 (1.8.x; where x > 0), but still ACS does not work.
What do you think?
