I'll ask again , though, because I'm not understanding:why dont you like the top level directory as "java"? What are you envisioning being in /opt/csw/java, besides the single directory "instances"?
Directories for bin, lib, man, and include that point through to the "active" instance (jdk/jre symlinks in instances). That way, a currently selected java version can always be found if PATH includes / opt/csw/java/bin, and MANPATH includes /opt/csw/java/man (or /opt/csw/ java/share/man, but that's not how Sun packages it).
(I'll mention that currently, we already have documented, and in use, a standard for jar files, to live in /opt/csw/share/java http://www.opencsw.org/standards/layout mentions this) _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
