Hi, I have an idea about implementing sensible-tools for the java world and wrote them down at<http://wiki.debian.org/Java/SensibleJava>. I have already implemented a proof of concept. What do you think about it? Does it make sense at all? Is the prefix "sensible-" a good/bad idea?
improving the current alternative-based system is needed, but you only replace one inflexible system with another one.
- no choice of a specific VM - no choice of compiled or interpreted modeWhile the java world seems to be most ix86 centric, IMO a distribution should try to support java on all it's supported architectures. This might include working around jvm issues on specific architectures.
What does the name 'sun' mean? A vm, a jdk, anything else? If it's a VM, it better should be something like hotspot, zero, zeroasm, or shark.
