Has there been any development regarding this issue? Edgy still doesn't set the JAVA_HOME variable automatically. Although it's easy to set by hand, it clearly lowers the out-of-the-box usefulness for Java developers. The SuSE distribution also uses the update-alternatives mechanism and there JAVA_HOME is set accordingly. I could have a look at how they do it if that would help.
