It was suggested on the jigsaw-dev list that I raise this issue here. The jeps command appears to have no /usr/bin symlink.
which jdeps /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/jdeps I believe this command was introduced with JDK 8. One thing that I considered a minor issue is that this misses the JDK 9 early access I have installed. It was indicated by Mandy Chung on the jigsaw-dev list that... > /usr/bin/j* are linked to > /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands > probably part of OS install and I guess it's a snapshot of JDK 7 > commands. If this is true, ‘part of OS install’, I would guess they may not of even been updated for JDK 7, and no new Java commands from Java 6 on will ever have OS X /usr/bin links going forward. That seems to be the concern? Michael Hall
