Is any of that effort on the record?  I can see why Sun might prefer a 
location that is not linux-specific so documentation about setting PATH, 
CLASSPATH, etc. would be more portable, and why they might want the 
install locations to be more obvious than the fedora/RH scheme for cases 
where different user/applications on the same machine need to use 
different jvm versions instead of taking the default, but I'd like to 
know the official reason.
