So yes, config files definitely don't belong in /usr Thanx for wring this down. I see two issues - all javas up to now had configs in java_home, which in /usr/lib/jvm/theJdk - so if your concerns are applicable, then they have to be revisited - config files were decided to be in jdk, as they are supposed to be jdk x cluster specific. So this is fundametnal chage to java in fedora/rhel. Still it may be good idea to allow per machine setup. If we agreed on this, are you ok with simply symlinks? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
