So I hear. What's sad is that "hardcoded classpaths" is exactly what rpm
(and packaging)
might help rationalize, mapping the classpath mechanism into package
dependencies.
rpm will get to java dependencies some day. I'm not gonna hold my
breath, though, because
java culture is so vastly different than other coding, and the java
heads seem to wish to exist
separate-but-equal until they get around to writing a kernel in java
that runs everywhere.
