I think that JAVA_HOUSE_OF_CARDS would be more appropriate, nice ring, and all that. ;) Just because many people use something, doesn't make it useful. Without a specification by Sun what JAVA_HOME supposed to be good for, it would be debian specific cruft, and work by chance with Sun's offering as long as Sun decides to support that undocumented interface. I don't think that's a good foundation to build a policy on ;) cheers, dalibor topic __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
