That way, acurrently 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).What about /opt/csw/java/bin, lib, man, being symlinks to ./ {VERSION}/bin,instead of ./instances/{VERSION}/bin ? I personally think that is a little cleaner; shorter paths are usually nicer, in my opinion :-)
No real difference, as long as a current/active symlink is used -- the key is that only one symlink needs to be changed to switch the default version of java. (ie, in /opt/csw/java, current -> jdk-1.5.0_16, or jdk -> jdk-1.4.2_xx, etc.)
The java plugin for firefox should probably symlink to /opt/csw/java/ current/... as well.
