Amid all the arguments I've lost track of exactly why
/usr/share/java/repository causes a problem for building things. Can
somebody explain to me why it's worse than, say, /usr/include or
/usr/lib?
I've just converted jlex to using a .jar rather than the repository,
anyway, although I can't really see any particular benefits one way or
the other for a standalone program like this.
