Would it be an idea to make some default functions available for java
application wrappers? I mean some function library available in
java-common or similar, to be used like this:
#!/bin/sh
. /usr/share/java-common/some-file
[ "$DESTDIR" ] || DESTDIR=
find_java_runtime
$JAVACMD $JAVA_ARGS \
-cp $DESTDIR/usr/share/java/batik-all.jar
org.apache.batik.apps.ttf2svg.Main $@
This would hide all the complexity of selecting the java runtime away
from the wrappers, and make it easier to write wrappers.
The function could look something like this:
# Use JAVACMD if it is set. If not, check JAVA_HOME, and fall back to
# 'java' if both are unset.
find_java_runtime() {
if [ -z "$JAVACMD" ] && [ "$JAVA_HOME" ] ; then
JAVACMD="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
fi
[ "$JAVACMD" ] || JAVACMD=java
[ "$JAVA_ARGS" ] || JAVA_ARGS=
}
Is this a good idea? Should we implement it? In which package, and
which file?
