Because you're causing a big hassle for anybody writing a Java program, even "hello world".Why not just put the jars in /usr/share/java, keep the system classpath completely clean, and let the startup scripts for individual apps choose which to include?

ridiculous to ask this of anybody who wants to program in Java for internal use. We
don't do this for C or C++.
