Yes, the Unix/Linux versions of Java are a bit different from the Win32
versions with regard to the directory structure.
With regard to the scripts in <java>/bin, they work a bit of magic to
figure out some things and set up the execution environment properly (a
very nice convenience, really, as it would be quite a pain to have to do
it yourself - and you never know what might be affected if you set it
all up in your login environment). Another difference between Unix and
Win32, but not a bad one, in my opinion.
