Hallo Daniel,
I did not notice I maintain Java for more years than yours poor 4 year
experience, so it's evident I am right -> RESOLVED/FIXED
no, I'm joking, but I really dislike such games
I've added the option for /usr/java as it's a default path for Oracle Java. As
we were enforced to remove it from distribution by Oracle (IOW this is **not**
our fault, blaim Oracle instead), it can make live of openSUSE users easier, as
they now have to install their Oracle Java on their own.
I agree with you that some/most of sysadmins installs their own system java and
they have to be able setup the JAVA_HOME et all like they want.
However I don't see a reason why to do such overengineering as you propose. I
would rather exclude the /usr/share/java(latest) from alljava.sh.
I would propose opinion number 4
$ cat <<EOF >>/etc/profile.local
export JAVA_HOME=/here/is/my/favourite/java
unset JRE_HOME #and other stuff from alljava.sh
EOF
It is nice, it is simple, it is straightforward, it allows you to do everything
you want to do, it exists (not only) in SUSE for ages, it's definitely not
"inventive" as it is an old-good-simple-unix-way of configuring things. And it
took you around 10 seconds to setup your system properly, so it is very very
cheap.
Or did I overlooked anything in your proposal can't be solved using
/etc/profile.local?
