To my knowledge they are available. At least allow the user to set
JAVA_HOME. This is much cleaner than a hack on following that has been
proven not to work ever since IBM JDK 1.4.

It is distribution agnostic. Were the 6+ RPM-based distributions I
mentioned in a previous email not agnostic enough? Even Debian/Ubuntu
follow the same layout for JVM's.

But you were speaking of an RPM build, so that covers ever major RPM
distro I know of.

And if you allow $JAVA_HOME and --with-java-home= as a configure option,
and try /usr/lib/jvm/java first if none is specficed, then you will also
support Ubuntu out of the box without resorting to a hack.
