Yeah, I read that a while ago. Anyway, would you be able to tell if given a proper JAVA_HOME setting, pre_install.m's magic would correctly detect it? and arror out if not set properly? Because in the future, when the Java pkg can be made to compile on OSX, at least that little JDK-finding hurdle would have been eliminated beforehand.
