I think that JAVA_HOME is quite pointless, as the only good use for it seems to be to locate JNI headers. It's an ill-defined ad-hoc 'standard' that isn't even supported by Sun. Programs that rely on JAVA_HOME to be able to access internals of the VM are inherently broken, they just start to notice it on free VMs ;)
Fully agreed. I have no idea what JAVA_HOME should be, for sablevm, as its configuration files are in /etc/sablevm and $HOME/.sablevm, its libraries in /usr/lib/sablevm, and its executable in /usr/bin. Where shouls JAVA_HOME point? [rhetorical question]
