Now I feel like a dope... I was speaking for the development (2.1.XX and
2.2.0-preX) kernels. Sorry.
And so the chronicles report that Aaron Gaudio spake thusly unto the masses:
>
> Indeed, binfmt_java is deprecated. Notice when you configured the kernel
> that there is a binfmt_misc. This is the preferred way of dealing with
> java binaries. There is a file called, appropriately, binfmt_misc.txt
> which explains how to set it up (it's designed for arbitrary interpreters,
> not just java). I've always enabled it, but have yet to set it it up and
> use it.
