And yum says a 1.6.6 version of that is installed. But following the
files paths displayed by yumex for that archive, its not there. 2 of the
files listed:
/usr/share/build-classpath
/usr/share/java-utils/build-classpath-directory
The only thing at that location is:
[root at coyote java-utils]# ls
java-functions
It should, I'd think, have an executable, but it's invisible to me.
