Hi, I'm not going to pretend to be a Java expert, but I was trying to build and run a Java application, and had to set JAVA_HOME manually. It is my understanding from my research[1] that applications often will want JAVA_HOME set to the path to the java install directory. It would seem like it would be useful if Guix set that as well for the icedtea and icedtea:jdk package.
If there are good reasons for that not to be, perhaps more knowledgeable individuals will explain it. One part I'm not quite sure about is what JAVA_HOME would be set to if both icedtea and icedtea:jdk were installed.
