If anyone has any thoughts on the "standard" install location for

The best way is to use JAVA_HOME environment variable.
For example my JAVA_HOME is set to : /usr/local/java/j2sdk
Thanks Tim (and everyone else who suggested JAVA_HOME).
One concern I have with JAVA_HOME is that it does not appear to get
set automatically - it's not set on Mac OS X, or any of the
FreeBSD/Linux/Solaris systems I just checked. (Or Windows, for that
matter.)
Does the user have to set up JAVA_HOME manually by fiddling with
their .login? Does everyone do this?
Also, even when set, does it refer to the JDK or the JRE? They're
often different.
I guess I can add some logic to use JAVA_HOME if it's defined, while
still allowing the user to override it on the commmand line.
So I didn't have all this problem to compile (with my dirty JDK=/usr)
So can you compile the Java support without modifications if you use
JDK=/usr/local/java/j2sdk ?
thanks,
Roger.
